Pure copper carafe, antique-etched, with stopper ± 1.75 l

Note: The lid of this carafe sits loosely in the cup and therefore does not seal tightly. Therefore, the carafe is not intended for portability.

Ayurveda states that keeping water in a copper bottle or glass for 8-10 hours has a balancing effect on the three bioenergies (doshas) that circulate through the human body (Vata: the air element, Pitta: the fire element and Kapha: the water element). In addition, water in copper drinking vessels becomes naturally alkaline, which helps maintain a balanced pH level. 

Over time, copper changes colour due to natural oxidation. This is called patina. Stains may also appear on the material. These are natural properties of copper and have no negative effect on drinking from the copper object. Pure copper reacts with oxygen, water and residual substances in the water, such as sulphur. This means the object has a high copper content and is effective at cleaning water. Discolouration of the inside is not harmful. If the discolouration becomes excessive, you can clean the bottle, jug, water tank or glass.

Copper drinking vessels are only suitable for water, not for milk, citrus juices or acidic liquids.

Do not wash in the dishwasher. Clean with natural soap, a soft sponge and room-temperature water. Protect from direct sunlight.

Our unique copper drinking bottles, jugs, water tanks and cups have been handmade in India for centuries. Since they are handmade, each piece is unique and may therefore differ slightly from the photograph. Imperfections in the material may also occur: this is part of the natural properties of copper.
