Each piece is shaped and finished by hand, so small differences in weight, size, finish and surface marking are normal and no two are identical. Colour on screen can differ from the metal in daylight. Handmade in India.

The pattern is printed rather than painted, laid over a pale cream ground that has been given a crackle, so the surface reads as old porcelain until the light catches the metal. Peonies, blossom sprigs and olive leaves run over the bottle and both tumblers. Only the cap and the inside of each tumbler are left as bare copper.

What is it?

A bottle and tumbler set pairs one water flask with the cups it pours into, so a single pattern carries from the tray to the hand rather than being assembled piece by piece.

Also known as a printed copper bottle set, tamba water set, jal patra set or copper gift set.

How do I look after it?

Wash by hand with a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge, then dry fully.
Copper darkens and takes a patina. Unlacquered copper reacts with air, water and skin. It is normal and it is reversible.
To restore the shine: lemon and salt, tamarind pulp, or a paste of flour, vinegar and salt. Rub, rinse, dry with a soft cloth.
Green or blue-green marks mean moisture has been sitting on the surface. Clean them off before use and dry the piece properly afterwards.
Keep sour and salty foods out of bare copper — lemon, curd, tamarind, pickle, vinegar.
For a drinking vessel: fill it overnight and finish it in the morning. Do not leave water standing for days.
Not dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe.

Questions about this piece

Is this solid copper or plated?

Solid copper under the print. Look into either tumbler and the bare metal starts at the rim, which is where the printed layer stops and the wall you actually drink from begins.

Will it look exactly like the photograph?

The flowers are laid on in a repeat, so the sprays will sit at different points on each vessel. The crackle in the ground is what varies most, because no two panels craze the same way.

Why has it gone dark?

The printed outside holds its colour. What darkens is the bare copper, so the cap and the inside of the tumblers turn brown first. Lemon and salt on those, and a damp cloth on the print.

Can I leave water in it overnight?

The metal takes no harm from it. Keep the printed outside dry between fills, though, because standing water on the ground coat will work into the crackle over time.

How much does it hold?

Unmeasured, so unprinted. The weight above is the figure we can stand behind. Capacity we would have to measure, and we will if you ask before ordering.

How many do I need?

The set is one bottle to two tumblers, which suits a bedside table or a two-person breakfast. A table that seats four wants two sets, since the tumblers are not sold on their own.
