A thing of beauty, and very impressive to perform with!   This cup is the "crowning jewel" of the entire Ickle Pickle metal line.  Many of you remember when the metal department was closed, and it we all believed it was over forever.  This cup is the celebration that Ickle Pickle's metal line was re-birthed, like a Phoenix rising from the ashes!

NOTE: LOOK CLOSELY... you WILL see some "brush marks" in these cups.  That is because a real human being, an old school master craftsman stands bent over a lathe, spinning these into the pieces of artwork they are.  It is not a machine stamping these out one after the other.  It is his own hands and bodyweight that applies the pressure from one end to the other creating this finished product.

We do not put "high shine" on our items.  They are hand "polished" by the spinner with an abrasive pad while it's still spinning, and also afterward during the life of the item, to clean up the naturally occurring patina that forms on all metals, but especially brass and copper, from time time. (and you should do the same with your metal items) These are the marks you see, and part of what makes these so very personal, and so special.
