FAQs
Is the gold detailing real 24-carat gold?
Yes, the detailing on the Seletti Kintsugi collection is made with genuine 24-carat gold.
Can I use this bowl for hot foods?
Yes, the bowl is made of porcelain and is safe for hot foods. It is also microwave-safe for reheating.
How should I best clean the bowl?
While the bowl is dishwasher safe, handwashing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended to preserve the integrity of the 24-carat gold detailing over time.
Is this bowl only for decorative purposes?
No, despite its artistic appearance, the Seletti Kintsugi Bowl is designed and intended for easy everyday use.
What is the inspiration behind the Kintsugi collection?
The collection is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, which involves repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, celebrating the beauty of imperfection and repair.
Does each bowl look exactly the same?
Due to the handcrafted nature of the gold application, each bowl will have unique variations in the 'repaired' crack patterns, making every piece distinct.
What are the dimensions of the bowl?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is generally sized as a standard serving or individual bowl.
Troubleshooting
Gold lines appear to be fading after washing.
This is unlikely with genuine 24-carat gold unless subjected to harsh abrasive cleaning. If fading is observed, try using a much gentler detergent and avoid scrubbing the gold areas. Consider switching to handwashing exclusively.
Bowl has a chip or crack.
The Kintsugi design imitates repair, but actual physical damage should be handled with care. Small chips might be aesthetically integrated due to the design, but larger damage may compromise its use. Contact the retailer for potential replacement options under warranty if applicable.
Food seems to stick to the surface.
Ensure the bowl is thoroughly clean. If food is sticking, it might indicate residue from previous washes or a need for a non-stick spray if used for baking (though this bowl is primarily for serving). A good soak with warm, soapy water should help.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No assembly or setup is required for the Seletti Kintsugi Bowl. It is ready for use straight out of the packaging.
Compatibility: This bowl is designed for serving and consuming food. It is microwave-safe for reheating purposes. Its dishwasher-safe property allows for convenient cleaning using standard household dishwashers. However, to maintain the longevity and brilliance of the 24-carat gold detailing, handwashing with a mild detergent is often recommended by collectors and ceramic care experts.
Care:
- Washing: While dishwasher safe, gentle handwashing is advised. Use a soft sponge and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the porcelain or damage the gold.
- Drying: Air dry or pat dry with a soft, lint-free cloth.
- Storage: Store carefully to avoid chips or scratches, especially on the gold accents.
