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.
Copper Possesses Water Purifying, Sterlizing And Anti-Bacterial Powers, So In Theory Your Water Will Stay Fresher Longer.
*Toriguchi Comes From The Japanese Word / Tori, Which Means Bird, And / Kuchi Which Translates As Mouth. Interesting, Eh?
