When I was a kid, Aladdin's thermos, which I used for athletic meet and excursion, was made of glass and had to be handled with care. But before I knew it, stainless steel became the mainstream, and it was surprisingly lightweight, so it wasn't a pain to carry around at all.

"Thermos", one of such thermos brands, celebrated its 111th anniversary in 2015. The Thermos Online Shop is currently selling a limited edition model (FFM-500) commemorating the 111th anniversary.

The limited model is a stainless steel bottle inspired by the prototype of a thermos bottle, a "glass thermos bottle with a cup". It has a fully open and easy-to-use inner plug and a slim shape that is easy to hold.


The design of the bottle is based on the checkered pattern that has been used in thermos products for a long time. It seems that the logo is also an arrangement of the one used in the United States in the 1960s.

There are three color variations: blue check, green check, and red check. It has a capacity of 500 ml, a size of 6.5 x 6.5 x 23.5 cm, and a weight of 300 g. The price is 5,000 yen (excluding tax). Retro items that give you a feel for the history of thermos bottles, as they are limited in quantity, so be quick!
