Copper Canister

Handmade by artisans, this simple copper canister is ideal for storing tea, coffee, and other dry goods. The solid copper is unlacquered, so it will age and develop a rich patina over time. It can also be kept polished and gleaming. SyuRo in Japanese means Palm Tree, having leaves that spread wide open just like welcoming hands. This is the driving concept behind SyuRo and their craftsmanship — the traditional Japanese monozukuri. Masuko Unayama first launched SyuRo in 1999 as a design company and in 2008 she opened a shop in Torigoe, an old downtown area of Tokyo filled with classic typesetters, canning factories, cloth wholesalers, hardware stores, and many small family-run factories engaged in meticulous monozukuri. All SyuRo products, from tea canisters to candles, are produced on an extremely small scale, with these traditional methods. Made in Japan Solid copper 3" x 3.25"
