When you hold this product in your hand with your thumb laid over onto the surface, it sits nicely and its organic form looks as if it was an extension of your own hand.
In manual production, each piece is unique although a line of products tend to give out the same image. The result is the product that looks both playful and natural.
The bright colour of the rim gives an effective emphasis to the beautiful curving line of this piece.
