IODISED
ROUND TRINKET BOX:This is made by a single Craftsman and his family. He has developed a large proportion of of our specialised gifts and retains a keen interest in how his work is received. The description 'Iodised', relates to the finish that is given to the item. It is achieved by applying layers of treatment to the original base metal and then polishing back to that metal in selected areas or more particularly on high spots. This gives a two tone effect which is sealed and does not require polishing with metal polish. Maintenance should be by polishing with a soft polishing cloth. The design applied by the craftsman around the box and on the lid is of the 'Vine of Life'. A Traditional Bhuddist design sometimes applied with the 'Hamsa Puttuwa' (Sacred entwined Swans). The Vine of Life relates to the progressive steps in achieving Nibannah or Enlightenment.
The box is lined in material allowing it to be used for various uses after the tea is finished. It will probably come packed with 100 g of one of my special estate teas packed into a heat sealed barrier foil pouch.
TEAS:
Clients who order large numbers of this pack are able to request a tea and we will endeavour to supply it. However it depends upon the time of year and the manufacture runs being made.
