Description

 

This Chirori, copper sake carafe, has graceful curves and a deep blue color. This is a product that is a brushed-up version of a standard product of Seigado, the metalwork studio in Nigata prefecture.

After melting copper into a sheet form, it is hammered into shape using the hammering technique called "Tsuiki", making the piece seamless.

This product is part of a project launched by Niigata Prefecture under the theme of "Tales of a Century," products to be used for the next 100 years. It is created by an outside designer and aims to coexist with the warmth of craftsmanship and sophisticated design.

It is suitable for heating sake by dipping it in a pot filled with hot water. The good thermal conductivity of the metal allows it to warm up quickly, and it also makes cold sake look cool and refreshing. Please be careful when holding the handle after warming it up. 

The handle is wrapped with a wisteria vine, so it can also be used for heating sake.
