Meet the Canopie Vase, Seletti's pop-archaeological reimagining of the ancient Egyptian canopic jar by designer Marcantonio Raimondi Malerba. The ritual vessel's silhouette survives intact, but the funerary solemnity is gone — replaced by a sculpted head crowning the body in bold, graphic colour, turning a 3,000-year-old form into a piece of contemporary Italian design.
Hand-finished in fine porcelain, this vase reads as sculpture first, vessel second — a shelf or console piece built to anchor a room rather than disappear into it. It's the kind of object that carries a story: guests ask about it, and the answer is a designer name and a cultural reference, not a catalogue number.
Available across four distinct colourways under the Canopie name, the vase invites a collector's instinct — each variant is a different chromatic personality of the same silhouette, echoing the original set of four canopic jars. Displayed alone or gathered as a group, it suits art-led interiors, boutique hotel lobbies, and design-conscious homes looking for a genuine conversation piece rather than another neutral accessory.
For gifting or personal collecting, the Canopie Vase rewards a design-literate eye — proof that Seletti's Italian irreverence travels as easily into a Gulf console as it does a European gallery shelf.

Designed by Italian artist Elena Cutolo for Seletti, Canopie reimagines the ancient canopic jar as a contemporary porcelain statement. Lidded vases inspired by the female form each represent a continent — Oceania, America, Africa, Europe and Asia — pairing minimalist lines and refined silhouettes with bold colour.
