Dimensions: ~2-7/8 inches tall × ~2 inches in diameter
Nara Ember is hand-turned from stabilized Nara wood (Pterocarpus indicus), an exotic hardwood prized for its rich, chocolate-brown tones and naturally flowing grain. The wood displays subtle bands of lighter caramel and chestnut hues, creating a quiet contrast that feels refined rather than dramatic.
The form is clean and balanced, with a smooth exterior that highlights the wood’s natural striping and depth. Unlike burl or heavily figured woods, this piece draws its character from restraint—letting the grain move gently through the surface rather than overpower it.
Stabilization strengthens the wood while preserving its natural beauty, making the shot glass durable, food-safe, and comfortable in the hand. The proportions give it a satisfying weight and a steady feel, suited for both use and display.
Nara Ember reflects the appeal of well-chosen material and careful craftsmanship: a simple form elevated by an uncommon wood and a thoughtful finish. As with all Gentry Crafted pieces, this shot glass is one of a kind.
