For this year’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nalatanalata.com\/exhibitions\/contained-vessels\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eContained Vessels \u003c\/a\u003eexhibition, we asked Mitani-san to create something deeply tied to our everyday lives: lidded drinking vessels to keep beverages warm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is two cups that are as thoughtful as they are beautiful — one tall, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/nalatanalatasavings.com\/products\/tall-coffee-cup-with-lid-white-urushi\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWhite Urushi Coffee Cup with Lid\u003c\/a\u003e and a smaller, Noir Teacup with Lid. The white cup is perfect for coffee, designed for those mornings when life is moving quickly and we find ourselves coming and going, setting down a cup and returning to it later. The snug-fitting lid has just the right amount of weight to help retain heat, and the hand-brushed urushi surface brings out subtle, delicate strokes that will grow richer with use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe noir teacup, smaller, has deeply faceted carving beneath layers of black lacquer that catch the light like a cut gemstone. Both designs feature Mitani-san's signature chisel marks, highlighting the honesty of the material and the maker’s hand. Over time, they will develop a patina. They are truly a record of daily rituals with each sip, reflecting the beauty of living with an object that only grows more meaningful with age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoir Teacup with Lid was curated by Stevenson Aung\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigner\/Maker \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaker: \u003c\/b\u003eRyuji Mitani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDesigner: \u003c\/b\u003eRyuji Mitani\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/b\u003e3.4\" (w) or 3.4\" (l) x 2.8\" (h) or 85mm (w) x 85mm (l) x 70 mm (h)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cspan\u003e3.0 oz or 85 g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/b\u003eMountain Cherry Wood, Urushi Lacquer\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Matsumoto, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA special exclusive collaboration between Ryuji Mitani and Nalata Nalata\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderside of cup features a gently beveled edge\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLid fits snugly with a nice weight for heat retention\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRyuji Mitani's signature on underside of cup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood-safe finish\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not soak urushi lacquered pieces in water for prolonged periods\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse with warm water\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWipe with a cloth and dry well\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not machine dish wash\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not microwave\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach piece is unique and will have variations  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUrushi lacquer will patina and change in texture and color with time and use\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ryuji Mitani x Nalata Nalata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49082418987254,"sku":"RM-418 (6789)","price":420.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/5843\/files\/Ryuji_Mitani_Noir_Teacup_with_Lid_Featured_199a8259-42f8-4ad8-a14e-f3163fe99c36.jpg?v=1760396540","url":"https:\/\/nalatanalatasavings.com\/products\/noir-teacup-with-lid","provider":"Nalata Nalata","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
