Full details
This Seletti Kintsugi Tray is designed for those who appreciate unique, artful homeware. Its key benefit lies in its distinctive design, inspired by the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, symbolizing beauty in imperfection. A potential caveat is its delicate nature, requiring careful handling and specific cleaning methods due to its porcelain and 24K gold detailing. This tray, crafted from porcelain with 24K gold lines imitating cracks and featuring a multicolor flower print, offers an asymmetric construction that adds a contemporary touch to its artisanal inspiration.

FAQs
What is Kintsugi?
Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum. It treats breakage and repair as part of the history of an object, rather than something to disguise.
Is the gold on the tray real gold?
Yes, the tray features detailing made with 24-carat gold, applied in a way that imitates the Kintsugi repair technique.
Can I put hot food directly on the tray?
Yes, the porcelain material is suitable for hot food. However, avoid extreme thermal shock (e.g., placing a piping hot dish directly from the oven onto a cold tray).
Is the tray dishwasher safe?
No, the tray is strictly handwash only. The dishwasher can damage the 24K gold detailing.
Can the tray be used in the microwave?
No, the tray cannot be used in the microwave due to the presence of 24K gold detailing.
What are the dimensions of the tray?
The tray measures 29.5cm in width and 42.5cm in length.
Is this tray suitable for everyday use or just decorative?
It is designed for both. While it's a beautiful decorative piece, its durable porcelain construction and generous size make it suitable for serving during special occasions or even daily use, provided it's handled with care.
Troubleshooting
Tray has minor imperfections or slight variations in gold application.
These are intentional features of the Kintsugi design, celebrating the art of repair and unique craftsmanship. Embrace these as part of its artistic character.
Gold lines appear dull after washing.
Ensure you are using a mild soap and that all soap residue is rinsed off thoroughly. Dry immediately with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive rubbing.
Tray feels unbalanced or wobbly.
Check if the surface it is placed on is even. If the tray itself seems uneven, ensure it's not due to an uneven placement on its base. Contact customer support if the defect is significant.
