About Bonsai Kikombe cha Kioo
Bonsai ni kikombe cha kioo kilichoundwa kwa ajili ya vinywaji vya moto. Mwili wake unafuata mikondo iliyochochewa na umbo la mwali wa moto, na mshiko umeundwa kuendana na mkunjo wa asili wa mkono kwa mshiko wa starehe na salama. Kioo kinachoonyesha ndani huonyesha rangi ya kinywaji na kuakisi mwanga kwenye uso uliochongwa kisanii. Kikombe hiki kimetengenezwa kwa kioo cha soda-lime, nyenzo imara inayostahimili mabadiliko ya joto na inayoweza kurejelezwa mara kwa mara. Uzalishaji hutumia kalibu ya chuma cha pua yenye bawaba na mchakato wa kuunda kwa kioo kilichoyeyushwa. Kila kikombe kina ujazo wa mililita 250, kipenyo cha milimita 75 na urefu wa milimita 87.
