The elegance of traditional Indian tableware for everyday use

A staple in Indian homes, this copper cup (or goblet) combines the aesthetics of oriental craftsmanship with the practicality of durable tableware. Designed to bring a touch of authenticity and warmth to your table, it stands out with its chic design.

Authentic craftsmanship: the charm of copper

The hammered texture of this cup is not only aesthetically pleasing: it reflects the artisans' skill. The metalwork creates multiple facets that catch the light, giving each piece a unique character. Beyond its appearance, copper is a noble, robust, and eco-friendly material, used for millennia in the making of Indian tableware.

The Ayurvedic Tradition of "Tamra Jal"

In India, drinking water from a copper vessel is a practice rooted in a millennia-old Ayurvedic tradition. This practice, called Tamra Jal, traditionally involves letting the water sit in the cup overnight (or at least for a few hours) before drinking it in the morning. This cultural custom is valued for the refreshing sensation it imparts to the drinking water.

Care Tips for Your Copper Cup

Copper is a living metal that changes over time. It is perfectly natural for it to oxidize slightly and develop a dark patina upon contact with water and air. To preserve the shine of your Indian glass, here are a few simple and natural tips:
Natural Cleaning: Gently rub the inside and outside with a mixture of lemon juice and a pinch of fine salt (or baking soda).
Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Avoid: Do not put in the dishwasher or use abrasive sponges, which could scratch the hammered metal. Do not use with acidic beverages (citrus juice) or milk.
