Makie Lacquerware Cups "Snowflakes" (Set of 2)
Makie Lacquerware Cups "Snowflakes" (Set of 2)
Blooming, Nameless Snowflakes
These are custom-made vessels, individually turned by a trusted woodturner based on the designer's own drawings.
Delicate snowflakes, falling from a quiet winter night sky, are lavishly depicted with pure gold makie. Each time you hold it, a dignified sparkle adorns your hands. Just as no two snowflakes are alike, each pattern embodies a unique individuality.
The rim is reinforced with washi paper and carefully finished using 100% natural lacquer.

As natural materials are used, there are individual differences in the patterns and colors of the shells. While slight chips and cracks characteristic of natural materials may be present, please enjoy them as part of the material's unique texture.
Each item is individually hand-lacquered in multiple layers. Due to this characteristic, fine dust may adhere to the painted surface, but we hope you enjoy it as a part of the handcrafted texture.
