Product Information
Full details
The Seletti Kintsugi N.3 Dinner Plate is for those who appreciate unique, artful dining ware and seek to add a touch of sophisticated design to their table settings. Its key benefit lies in its stunning aesthetic, inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which elevates everyday meals into an elegant experience. A caveat to consider is its delicate appearance, which may lead some to believe it requires overly cautious handling, though it is designed for everyday use. This plate is crafted from white porcelain and features 24K gold lines that artfully imitate cracks, creating an asymmetric construction with gold details and a flower print. It is microwave and dishwasher safe for convenient daily use.

FAQs
Is the gold on the plate real 24K gold?
Yes, the decorative lines imitating cracks are made with 24K gold.
Can I use this plate for everyday meals?
Absolutely. Despite its artistic appearance, the plate is made from durable porcelain and is designed for microwave and dishwasher use, making it suitable for everyday meals.
How is the Kintsugi design applied?
The design is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, where broken pottery is repaired with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. Each plate features lines that imitate these repairs, creating unique asymmetric compositions.
What are the dimensions of the plate?
The dinner plate measures approximately Ø 27.5 cm in diameter and 3 cm in height.
Is the entire collection microwave and dishwasher safe?
Yes, all items within the Seletti Kintsugi collection, including this dinner plate, are designed to be microwave and dishwasher safe for easy everyday use.
Will the gold scratch easily?
The gold lines are integrated into the design. While durable for normal use, it's best to avoid abrasive cleaners or rough scrubbing to maintain the finish over time.
Does the asymmetric design affect stability on the table?
The design is intentionally asymmetric for artistic effect. It is crafted to be stable for regular use, but minor variations are inherent to its handmade-inspired aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Gold lines appear to be fading or chipping.
Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding abrasive scrubbers in the dishwasher or during hand washing. Excessive use of harsh chemicals or high heat in the microwave over extended periods can also contribute to fading. Gentle care is recommended.
Plate has a slight wobble.
The Kintsugi design is intentionally asymmetric. Minor imperfections or slight wobbles are part of its artistic charm and intended aesthetic, reflecting the Kintsugi philosophy of embracing imperfection.
Food seems to stick more than usual.
While the porcelain surface is smooth, ensure adequate liquid or oil is used when cooking or reheating, especially in the microwave. A quick rinse after use can also prevent food from drying and sticking.
