HOT ! Wood Cup - Black Urushi

I am a Black Urushi Wood Cup. My coat may be slick to move in this fast-paced world, but I never dress in a rush. It takes layers to look this good.

Curator\'s Notes

Our hot and fresh update on our wood cup features a beautiful finish that pays homage to traditional Japanese lacquerware. Made from a single hand-turned piece of wood, this thin and lightweight cup is finished with an elegant urushi lacquer that keeps it durable through consistent use and washes. The multiple layers of deep brownish black urushi prevent stains and wear from water, acid and changes in temperature. With its eight ounce shape and rolled rim, this lightweight yet sturdy cup fits so easily in our hands and lips, making every sip a moment to savour.
