Each design is meticulously hand-painted with glassy enamel on copper and fired at a high temperature of around 800 degrees, resulting in colors that are more vivid than those of ceramics. Because it is made from glass, the colors and patterns never fade, allowing it to be passed down from generation to generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/0333\/2635\/files\/DSC01999-2.jpg?v=1716886452\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tray can comfortably hold up to four pens with some space to spare, making it versatile for various uses.
