Thamani Cup Kenya

Information about the THAMANI cup:

Each cup is a handmade piece from Kenya!

The cup on the picture is an example of the shape and size.

The child's artwork is as individual as the child itself. The cup will reach you in an attractive surprise box and contains a photo and a handwritten letter from the child.

Now we want to share 7 more things with you that you should know about this special cup:

1. The cup paid for the little artist's school fee for one month
2. The paint workshops (about 1 hour monthly per child) are voluntary and integrated into the children's school program.
3. For most children, it is the first time they get the chance to use paints and it helps them processing traumatic experiences from living on the streets before getting a fresh start at one of our partner schools
4. The red-brown clay used to make the cup was taken from soil in Kenya
5. The cup went through a complex production process of shaping, glazing (hand application in different styles) and 3 separate firings (spent about 7 days in an oven)
6. Your cup loves to be hand-washed – it ensures the colors last and shine the longest
7. Your cup does not really enjoy the dishwasher, but up to 50°C is okay. Above 50°C should be an exception and might cause the colors to wear off over time

Cup dimensions (varying due to manual production, but within the following ranges):

Cup opening diameter: 9 cm - 10.5 cm
