Gently wash with mild soap and warm water using a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive materials. Dry immediately with a soft cloth. For persistent dullness, use a non-abrasive gold cleaner specifically designed for delicate items.
The Kintsugi series is inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It celebrates the beauty of imperfection and repair, transforming damaged items into unique art pieces.
While the design is consistent, the application of the gold 'repairs' and floral motifs may have slight variations, making each piece unique due to its artisanal nature.
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description, but it is sized as a standard teacup and saucer.
Gently polish the gold areas with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn tarnish, use a specialized gold cleaner, ensuring it is suitable for delicate decorative items, and always test on an inconspicuous area first. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the surface it is placed on is level. Minor imperfections in the porcelain base are sometimes part of the handcrafted aesthetic. If the wobble is significant, contact the retailer.
This is unlikely with normal use and proper care. If fading occurs, it may indicate exposure to harsh cleaning agents or prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Ensure you are hand-washing with mild soap and drying promptly.
Setup: The Seletti Kintsugi Teacup and Saucer requires no assembly. It is ready for use straight out of its packaging.
Compatibility: This teacup and saucer set is designed for serving hot or cold beverages. However, it is *not* compatible with microwave ovens due to the presence of metallic gold detailing. It is also not recommended for use in dishwashers.
Care: To maintain the beauty and integrity of the 24-carat gold accents and the delicate floral design, hand-washing is strongly recommended. Use a soft sponge or cloth with mild detergent and warm water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as they can damage the gold finish. Dry thoroughly with a soft, lint-free cloth. Store carefully to prevent chipping or scratching.
