Designer: Makoto Koizumi

Material Tin (100%)

Introduction 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. Because it is known to absorb impurities and purify water, tin wares allow you to enjoy liquor, meals, sweets, or flowers. Tin ware cooled in a refrigerator for 2-3 minutes will keep the dish fresh and cold.

NOUSAKU uses pure tin. It is common to add other metallic materials to provide durability and facilitate cutting work, but NOUSAKU uses tin without such additives. Accumulated experience of skilled craftsmen enables us to produce these unique pieces.

Tincry is manufactured using traditional casting techniques which have been passed down through the generations for over 400 years in Takaoka City, Toyama Prefecture. Enables you to bend the petals and to use as a confectionery basket, coaster, saucer, accessory tray, or soap tray.
