This 8.5 fl oz (250 ml) tin-lined chirori sake carafe from Seigado is completely handcrafted by skilled artisans, who shape the copper into a compact form with a gentle, inviting presence. Its charming silhouette and well-balanced proportions give the piece a warm, approachable character while still carrying the quiet elegance that defines Seigado’s work.

The body is shaped from copper and fully lined with tin, giving the interior a gentle, subdued surface for the sake it holds. The pattern on the surface is created by masking to leave the underlying copper exposed, then developing a dark brown tone through sulfurization. A coating is applied to the surface once the piece is finished. 

Each piece features a unique pattern, with the artisan bringing out the metal’s natural hues through careful metalwork. The result is a subtle, understated tone: a design that feels clean, composed, and intentionally restrained.

The handle is wrapped in vines, adding a natural warmth that complements the cool sheen of the tin and the depth of the copper. Its texture offers a quiet tactile contrast, inviting the hand without demanding attention.
