Yure Cup

I am a Yure Cup. I wobble and sway, but my spirit stands silvery still.    Curator's Notes    With an irregular shaped rim and a pebbled texture, this bright silver cup reminds me of something plucked from nature and cast in weighty tin. It has the brilliance and durability of silver, but won’t tarnish as easily. Tin’s anti-microbial properties make this little cup ideal to use as a drinking vessel for sake or other beverages. I love placing it in the fridge for a few moments before use – the metal’s thermal capacity keeps liquids chilled and fresh.      Yure Cup was curated by Angélique Chmielewski    Designer/Maker    Designer: Makoto Koizumi   Maker: Nousaku   Specifications   Dimensions:  2.5” (w) x 2.5” (l) x 1.8” (h) or 64mm (w) x 64mm (l) x 45mm (h)     Weight:  8 oz or 230 gr    Materials: Tin   Details Made in Japan Hand-crafted with traditional casting techniques used for over 400 years in the region Suitable for use as drinking vessel or serving vessel Chill the
