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

Product detailed description

Note: The lid of this carafe sits loosely in the cup and therefore does not seal tightly. The carafe is therefore not intended to be portable.

Ayurveda states that keeping water in a copper bottle or cup 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 naturally becomes alkaline, which helps maintain a balanced pH level. 

Over time, copper changes colour due to natural oxidation. This is called patina. Spots may also appear on the material. These are natural properties of copper and do not have a negative effect on drinking from a copper item. Pure copper reacts with oxygen, water and residual substances in the water, such as sulphur. This means the item has a high copper content and is effective at purifying water. Discolouration on the inside is not harmful. If the discolouration becomes excessive, you can clean the bottle, jug, water tank or cup.

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

Do not wash in a 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. As they are handmade, each piece is unique and may therefore differ slightly from the photo. Imperfections in the material may also occur: this is part of the natural properties of copper.
