About this craft

Description
Hand-polished hammered copper tea canister, Tsubame-Sanjo crafted
Wash by hand; dry immediately. Copper will oxidize and develop natural patina over time—this is normal and desirable. Buff lightly with soft cloth to restore shine if desired. Avoid dishwasher and prolonged water contact. Store tea in airtight container inside canister to keep leaves fresh.
