Named for Kannauj — the medieval Indian city rival kingdoms fought wars to control — this Hybrid New Era Teacup and Saucer by CTRLZAK Studio for Seletti is a fine-porcelain statement about what crosses borders. One side of the bold graphic seam: scrolling botanicals and chromatic intensity from Eastern decorative tradition. The other: heraldic composure from European fine china. The line where they meet is the whole design.
A teacup is the most intimate object in any tablescape — held in the hand, the quiet architecture of a moment. CTRLZAK placed the East-West divide here deliberately: tea itself is one of the oldest cross-cultural exchanges in history. The Hybrid New Era series names every piece after a lost city — erased by time, never quite forgotten — and the porcelain carries that weight without being solemn about it.
In Dubai, where tea and coffee are a serious form of hospitality, this cup brings a different register to the majlis table. Pair it with a Hybrid New Era plate named for another lost city — a deliberately non-matching service that provokes more conversation than a coordinated set ever could.

Fine porcelain tableware with a durable vitrified body and hard, glazed, food-safe surface. It resists staining and odour, but can chip on impact or crack under sudden thermal shock; plain undecorated porcelain is microwave-safe, while any gold, platinum or metallic detailing must never be microwaved, and porcelain is not for the oven or freezer.
Care: Hand-wash decorated pieces in warm water with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately; wash promptly after acidic or strongly coloured foods.
Avoid: Microwave use on metallic detailing; the oven and freezer; sudden hot-cold changes; abrasive pads, steel wool, scouring powders, undiluted bleach, knocks and drops.
Suitable for: Formal dining, everyday table settings, tea and coffee service, plated starters and desserts.
HYBRID stages a collision of worlds on fine bone porcelain. Created by Seletti with CTRLZAK studio, each piece splits down a bold coloured line: Eastern chinoiserie — peonies, dragons, willow trees — on one side, European heraldic ornament on the other.
