Handcrafted Copper Ice Coffee Cup (350ml) - RED&WHITE -

An Auspicious Gift Steeped in Japanese Tradition

• The Beauty of "RED & WHITE" (Kouhaku)As the brand name suggests, the exterior showcases the natural reddish hue of pure copper, while the interior is lined with a brilliant white tin coating. In Japan, the combination of red and white (Kouhaku) is a traditional symbol of good fortune, happiness, and celebration.

• The "Fan" Shape (Suehirogaru) When turned upside down, the cup reveals a unique silhouette that widens towards the bottom, resembling a folded paper fan. Known as Suehirogaru in Japan, this shape symbolizes expanding prosperity, a bright future, and lasting happiness. It makes an ideal gift for weddings, housewarmings, anniversaries, and other special occasions.

Collaboration Between Two Renowned Craft Regions

Created by Oda Koudouki—a long-established brass and copper foundry in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture—this brand pairs generations of metalworking expertise with the world-class precision press technology of Tsubame-Sanjo in Niigata Prefecture. Crossing regional boundaries, RED & WHITE is Japan’s first specialty brand dedicated exclusively to copperware. Every single cup is meticulously handmade by skilled artisans, offering unparalleled craftsmanship and timeless design.

Care & Usage Instructions

• Cold Drinks Only: Due to the rapid thermal conductivity of copper, do not use for hot beverages, as the entire cup will become extremely hot and may cause burns.

• Hand Wash Only: Not dishwasher or microwave safe.

• Cleaning: Gently hand wash with mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive pads, wire brushes, or harsh chemical cleaners, as they may scratch the surface or strip the tin lining.

• Patina / Aging: Over time, copper naturally develops a rich patina (surface oxidation). This natural evolution is a cherished characteristic of copperware. To maintain its original shine, gently polish the exterior with a soft cloth and specialized copper cleaner when needed.
