Esther Oriku skillfully crafted a unique, untreated wooden cup that captured the rustic charm Hannah desired, engraving it with a personal touch. What's your wish?
A request by Hannah from Poppenhausen, Germany
I would like to have a wooden cup, about 7 cm high with a diameter of 6 cm. The wood should be untreated.

Please will the cup be with handle or without.I have give a sample of the cup with or without then you can give the feedback.Thank you.
Hallo.
Kindly will the cup be with handle or without handle.
And if with handle will the 6cm of the diameter be up to the end of the handle or exclusive.
Please tell me so that I can be able to give the price.
Thank you.
The cup should be without a handle.
Hello Esther, I would like that on the cup "Hannah" stands and behind it a small heart is engraved. I hope this is possible.
Kindly will give feedback as soon as possible
Thank you
Hi
A small suggestion concerning the measurements of the cup.it Will look good if the measurements will be height 9 cm by 6cm so that it will look good.a different of 1 cm is every small to make a change
Yes, that's fine.
It's ok so once the negotiations is over will work with the measurements
Thank you
