Start of a 6 year long trip

The idea:
This new spinning top will be produced for 6 years' duration beginning in 2024.  Every year, a new embossed pattern, with 4 colours which will never be the same.  Over 6 years, that results in 24 different spinning tops

All Annual-Spinning Tops can only be ordered in the respective year; the 2024 tops will be replaced by the 2025 model and this creates a natural limitation.

Set of four “SORBET“ with ice cream cone pattern - fruity colours with embossing on maple wood.
