Product description
Individually hand-formed and painstakingly hammered into shape over an anvil-mold known as a toriguchi*, using the traditional tsuiki technique, these copper tumblers are a joy to look at, hold and use.
Hammering the copper makes it brittle, so along the way the vessel is repeatedly heated and cooled to ‘anneal’ it. It’s a slow process, but once you hold the cup in your hand we hope you’ll agree it was worth the effort.
Copper’s excellent thermal conductivity keeps drinks cold longer – perfect for your whisky or shochu ロック(on the rocks) and beer, of course. Water too, if you’re so inclined – a pair of these would make very attractive bedside vessels for sipping somnambulists.
The best things come in pairs: purchase one of each colour or, if you prefer, a matching set, and your tumblers will arrive in a custom-made paulownia wood presentation box, making a very fine (and easy to wrap) gift.
*Toriguchi comes from the Japanese word 鳥 / tori, which means bird, and 口 / kuchi which translates as mouth. Interesting, eh?
