These are handcast by Ninja Press Castings and each is unique in appearance, dependent upon the artisan’s whim. I flipped when I first laid eyes on the prototypes. They are delightful.
This is one solid piece completely made from discarded metal printing type. Type bodies are visible on surface and occasional characters can be seen on the sides, as well as emerging from the surface. Each weighs between 19 to 20 ounces. They measure 2-9/16 inches in diameter at the top, 2-3/16 inches at bottom (slanted for easy handling).
They actually do measure +/- type height (.918) from bottom to upper lip and have fabric attached to bottom to prevent marking.
Only two dozen of these were produced for sale.
