Urushi Tumbler is a unique marriage between thermo mug and Japanese tradition, a project offering functional thermal tumblers designed and created as works of Japanese craft. The tumblers are designed by Tsuchinao Shikki, an atelier producing original collections of Echizen pottery, a style of pottery with 1,500 years of history.

Each tumbler is hand painted by a craftsman, and uses natural urushi lacquer to create its simple yet elegant designs.
Tumblers are available in solid black and red, as well as in 4 different traditional Japanese patterns:
