Ranshi Urushi Lacquer Sake Cup 100ml – Matte Finish, Dishwasher-Safe

Long ago, lacquerware had a technique that produced a pattern resembling tangled threads: ranshi, meaning "disordered thread". Today, there is almost nowhere left that can do this lacquering. Nurikobo Fujii has recreated the technique on its own, and applies it here in a matte finish to a Japanese sake cup (guinomi). It features Nurikobo Fujii's original finish.

It is dishwasher-safe lacquer glassware. Special lacquer is applied to the back of the glass and sealed with a special dishwasher-safe coating resin. Because the lacquer sits behind the glass, the surface you touch is glass, which conventional lacquerware could not offer. The coating on the back protects the lacquered surface from scratches, and sandwiching the lacquer in the dishwasher-safe coating greatly improves its resistance to detergent and heat.

The 100 ml (3.38 fl oz) size suits sake and other small pours. Choose from five colours: Vermilion, Pure White, Akatame, Jet White and Jet Black.

Notes

• This item is handcrafted; slight variations in color, grain, and finish are natural and part of its character.
• The color of the same coating may look different depending on the type of glass.
• Colors may appear slightly different from the photos depending on your display settings.
• Dimensions are approximate and may vary slightly from item to item.
• Precautions for handling: This product is painted. If the special dishwasher-safe coating resin on the back of the glass is scratched by friction, contact between dishes, or hitting corners, and detergent or other substances penetrate the lower layer, the coating resin may peel off or cause discoloration or deformation. In such a case, please refrain from using a dishwasher and wash by hand.
• We are not responsible for problems that occur during the molding of the glass, such as sagging or bumps in the glass.
