I-Hada Bottle Opener, Waku (Frame)
£55.00
Ex Tax: £45.83
A sand-cast bottle opener from a foundry which began working in 1897 in the city of Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. This Waku, or Frame design forms a simple linear frame, with a long handle for effective leverage. The cast shape is left
‘I-Hada' on the interior surfaces — with a raw cast surface maintaining any texture or dis-colouration drawn from the sand into which it
was poured, an expression of its solidity, manufacture, and uniqueness. Outer surfaces are polished to a high finish. Designed by Oji Masanori. About 140mm x 20mm x 15mm deep.
Care Advice
Unlacquered brass will tarnish and develop a natural patina with time. If you wish to bring back its original shine a suitable metal polish like Brasso or Elsterglanz will do the trick — use according to instructions.
- Weight g 120g
- Item Dimensions L14 x W2 x H1.5
- Materials Sand-cast brass
