This "Suiteki" watering vessel is really something special. Like a floating drop of water, the spherical body gently tapers to a tulle. The beauty of the vessel does not get in the way of its function - the base sits wonderfully in the hand and has a pleasant weight, and the delicate spout can be used to pour liquids ranging from soy sauce to salad dressing in a targeted manner. The Suiteki is made of copper and brass and treated with an anti-tarnish paint and wax to prevent it from rusting and discolouring. Enjoy its texture as it slowly changes over time.

This handmade product is unique and may vary slightly in colour, pattern, shape and size.

• Rinse with water and a soft sponge after each use. Do not put in the dishwasher.
• Do not use household products such as abrasive cleaners or metal sponges.
• After cleaning, allow to air dry thoroughly. Do not store it with other items to avoid possible scratches.
