#25 - Psykter with Stitch-work Repair

£340.00 GBP
£340.00 GBP
Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Patinated Oak vessel treated with lime and a touch of fire before coating with danish oil and wax and then repaired with our signature waxed cotton stitchwork.

The Psykter references an ancient Grecian wine cooling vessel of the same name that would typically have a much longer foot than this and was I believe kept floating in cool water, staying afloat due to an internal section of sealed air in the bulbous top section. Ours is of course not intended for this purpose but we do find the history fascinating.

Height: 11cm
Diameter: 10cm
GBP £340 (inc VAT)

This vessel was crafted from timber framing offcuts acquired from a local sawmill, the Oak itself was from a responsibly managed woodland in Kent.

Product Care

These vessels have been finished with a UV protective danish oil as well as a very fine microcrystalline wax that’s then been buffed to give it a subtle polish.

I recommend cleaning and dusting your vessel with a stiff clean brush, (we tend to use a small nail brush or something of the sort) not only will this help to clean anything out of the textured grain but also serve to further buff the finish underneath. If absolutely necessary use a lint free damp cloth to rub the surface and then dry it off and buff it with a brush in the manner mentioned above.
