Description

Popular as gifts, these 100% Tin bowls from traditional maker NOUSAKU give a feeling of warmth and are excellent for beautiful food presentations. Coming in three different sizes, the smaller ones can also be used as sake cup, side dish bowl, or accessories box.
For the extraordinary Gold Leaf collection, Nousaku has worked together with traditional gold craftsmen representing the Kanazawa region in the center of Japan. The inner side of the bowls are gilded with gold leaf, giving them a unique, high class look that will shine and change with the reflection of light upon it.

Dimensions:
Small: H28　φ83
Medium: H35　φ100
Large: H40　φ115

The bowls are made with 100% tin. Known as the most expensive metal after gold and silver, tin is very malleable and flexible. Though having nearly the whiteness of silver, it does not rust easily nor will air tarnish it readily. It is significantly antibacterial, and also known as a material with low allergic reactivity and high heat conductivity. Tin ware cooled in a refrigerator for 2-3 minutes will keep the dish fresh and cold.

Recommended care:

– Wash with a mild detergent using a soft sponge.
– Polish with a common metal polisher, tooth paste, or pasty baking soda to restore the shine.
– Avoid any abrasive materials, wire wool or brushes, as they may scratch the surface.
– Do not put over fire or use in microwaves, as the melting point is low.
– Refrain from storing in the refrigerator > 30 minutes or in the freezer to avoid deterioration of the material.
– Not suitable for use in dishwashing or drying machines.
– Excessive bending and changing shapes may lead to cracks and breakage of the item.
For items with gold leaf:
– Do not change the shape or leave an item in water, and be sure to dry it well after use, as gold leaf may flake off.
