Product Information

Full details

This Seletti Coffee Cup and Saucer from the Kintsugi collection is designed for art enthusiasts and those who appreciate unique, conversation-starting tableware. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive aesthetic, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, adding a touch of regenerative beauty to your daily coffee ritual. A potential caveat is that the intricate design, while beautiful, may require a bit more care than standard ceramicware. This collection transforms everyday items into unique art pieces, celebrating imperfection and regeneration through the application of 24-carat gold to porcelain.
