Copper drinking vessels have a tradition of more than two thousand years in India. This small, plain cup is made from pure copper and holds 45 ml — a practical little cup that sits neatly in the hand.
The Ayurvedic tradition
According to Ayurveda, the ancient science of India, water stored in a copper vessel is said to support the balance of the three principles — the doshas (vata, kapha and pitta) — within the body. This is understood within experiential tradition, not as a medical promise; many simply choose it for the pleasure of drinking pure water from a copper vessel. Copper has accompanied everyday drinking in India for thousands of years, and many still favour it today for its warm glow and the simple pleasure of a familiar, natural material.
Shape & use
The 45 ml size suits small sips, a morning ritual or a single draught of water. Its smooth, polished surface brings out the warm glow of the copper.
Use & care
Intended for cold water. Copper naturally develops a patina over time; its original shine can be restored by rubbing with a little lemon and salt, then rinsing with clean water. Hand washing is recommended.
Recommended for cold water only; a durable, reusable piece for everyday use.
