Urushi Funnel - Small (OUT OF STOCK)

Ryuji Mitani

• Introduction

  I am a Small Urushi Funnel. It might look confining but be like water and you will find a way through it.

   

• Curator's Notes 

   

  A funnel is one of those kitchen accessories we never knew we needed until we had one. Instead of making a mess of the countertops, this functional object allows a smooth transfer of liquids or fine table condiments like salt or sugar into vessels, containers and bottles with small openings. The multiple layers of brushed urushi lacquer protects the wood while giving the piece a hand painted quality fit for an object so sculptural.
