It doesn't get any more unique than this. This exclusive Japanese lacquered drink bottle from thermo mug is a show stopper with its beautiful and unique design. Now you can literally hold a work of art in your hand and feel good about it.
Japanese lacquer (Urushi) is firstly applied over the bottle manually by expert craftsmen. Then, another application of ‘Maki-e’ (a metallic powder consisting of gold or silver in lacquer) is drawn over to create the beautiful design. Each bottle is hand finished with this traditional Japanese technique. Yes, there are many bottles out there with a similar shape and function, but how many are there which literally has some Japanese history on it?
This black bottle features a Karakusa design, a traditional Japanese pattern representing intertwining vines. It symbolizes longevity and prosperity.
The slim design is based on a folding umbrella, making it ideal to fit snugly into bags and carrying around. The vacuum insulated double walled structure gives you more than 6 hours of hot or cold drinks. It is lightweight at only 235g.
This is the perfect gift for a special occasion. For someone. Or yourself.
