Elegant and quietly poetic, the Seletti Kintsugi tea cup recasts ritual into a tactile moment. Designed by Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba for Seletti, this piece sits within cups & co as both functional tableware and a small sculptural object meant for everyday use.

Beauty born from repair

Inspired by the Japanese art of mending, the cup’s visible gold lines celebrate imperfection as value. Each fine fracture, gilded and honoured, reads like a history line: the result is a Kintsugi tea cup that feels intimate, considered and quietly luxurious. What if your morning ritual could also tell a story? This cup brings that narrative to the surface through tactility and finish, and it is part of the Kintsugi collection, where each piece celebrates craftsmanship, imperfection, and artistry.

Porcelain for everyday ritual

Crafted in delicate porcelain, the cup balances a refined hand with reassuring usability. It’s light to hold, pleasant on the lip and robust enough for daily tea, design that asks to be used rather than locked away. It retains heat yet remains pleasant at the rim, making every sip a considered moment rather than a rush. Part of the Marcantonio x Seletti collaboration, it combines artistic flair with everyday functionality for a cup that is both playful and practical.

Giftable, collectible, dependable

Perfect as a thoughtful gift or a collection piece, the cup bridges craft and contemporary design. It reads well in quiet morning rituals and as a refined accent in social settings, an object that rewards repeated use. Both decorative and practical, the Seletti Kintsugi cup suits displays and collectors who value narrative and tactility, making it a strong choice for curated retail environments. As part of the broader world of Seletti tableware, it connects seamlessly with eclectic plates, bowls and serving pieces to enrich any setting.

A cup that holds more than tea

The Seletti Kintsugi cup is a designer tea cup that turns modest ritual into a narrative: delicate, decorative and emotionally resonant. With careful proportions and considered weight, it feels like a small handheld sculpture. Its finish refracts light in gentle ways and the gold veins invite close inspection; sit with it for a moment and you realise how ordinary objects can change the way a room feels. This is tableware that asks to be noticed and used: one small cup, many meaningful moments.
