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.

Five hundred grams is the one hard fact on this listing, and for a drinking tumbler it is a heavy number - heavy enough that the wall is thick rather than thin-drawn, and heavy enough that the vessel stays put on a night table when a hand catches it. Everything else is open. The photograph on the page belongs to another copper vessel in the range and is being replaced, so the finish, the taper and whether it carries a lid are all unconfirmed.

What is it?

A tumbler is the straight or tapered drinking vessel that carries no handle, filled from a jug at the table or kept beside the bed through the night.

Also known as a copper glass, tamba tumbler, water glass, drinking tumbler or jal patra.

What is in the box?

1 copper tumbler

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. 500 g is a real number for a copper tumbler and it is the one thing on this listing we can stand behind, so put it on a kitchen scale the day it arrives.

Will it look exactly like the photograph?

The image on this page is shared with another copper vessel and is being replaced. Treat it as a placeholder rather than as a picture of what will arrive, and wait for the reshoot before you order.

Why has it gone dark?

Bare copper darkens in air, and it darkens faster where a hand holds it. That is the metal doing what unlacquered copper does. Lemon and salt, rinsed off and dried, brings the colour back whenever you want it back.

Can I leave water in it overnight?

Water can stand in it overnight. Empty and rinse it in the morning rather than refilling on top, and dry it now and then, or a ring forms at the level the water sat.

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.

Does it come with a lid?

Not stated, and the tumbler has not been photographed on its own, so we will not tell you either way. The answer goes on the page the day the maker confirms it.
