Above the top row the rim is left plain and turned out a little. Below the bottom row the wall runs smooth into a small pressed foot that lifts the base clear of the table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tumbler is the plain drinking cup of an Indian table, straight sided and open at the top, filled from a jug or a bottle and set down at each place rather than passed hand to hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash by hand with a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge, then dry fully.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCopper darkens and takes a patina. Unlacquered copper reacts with air, water and skin. It is normal and it is reversible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo restore the shine: lemon and salt, tamarind pulp, or a paste of flour, vinegar and salt. Rub, rinse, dry with a soft cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen or blue-green marks mean moisture has been sitting on the surface. Clean them off before use and dry the piece properly afterwards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep sour and salty foods out of bare copper — lemon, curd, tamarind, pickle, vinegar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor a drinking vessel: fill it overnight and finish it in the morning. Do not leave water standing for days.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot dishwasher safe. Not microwave safe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this solid copper or plated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolid. Look inside and the hammer marks show through as a rippled wall, which only happens when the metal itself has been moved rather than a pattern pressed into a coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it look exactly like the photograph?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two beaded rows sit at the same height on every one, because they are rolled in. The hammering between them is struck by hand and will differ, even between the two in one box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy has it gone dark?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCopper darkens in air, and the beaded rows go darkest because a cloth skips over the low ground between the beads. Lemon and salt with a soft brush get into them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I leave water in it overnight?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWater standing in copper is long-standing Indian household practice and does the metal no harm. Rinse and dry the tumbler in the morning rather than pouring fresh water on top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much does it hold?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have not measured the capacity, so there is no millilitre figure on this page. Where the maker gives one we print it; here they have not, and we are not going to work it back from a photograph. Ask before you order and we will fill this one and measure it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow many do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne per person drinking. Two covers a bedside jug and a guest; a table that seats four or six wants the matching count so the setting reads as one thing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 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.
