Hand-Hammered Copper Canister Shikinshoku

A traditionally joined tea canister with an outer and inner lid lined with tin/silver to preserve the taste and longevity of tea. Expertly crafted with flawless precision to close exactly at the seams while opening smoothly every time and becoming even smoother with each use. Each canister is embellished with technical details, including the natural patina and textured surface.  Each mark is made with a single hammer mark.  No two pieces are the same, and colors vary slightly and will continue to deepen with regular use.
