Ayurveda has advocated the benefits of drinking water from copper vessels since ancient times. Ayurveda states that when you store water for 8–10 hours in a copper bottle or cup, it has a balancing effect on the three bio-energies (doshas) that circulate through the human body (Vata: air element, Pitta: fire element and Kapha: water element). In addition, water in copper vessels becomes naturally alkaline, which helps to keep your body's pH value balanced. Read more here (https://www.ayurvedaspecialist.nl/water-met-de-kracht-van-koper/)

Due to natural oxidation, copper discolors over time. This is called patina. The material may also develop some stains. These are natural properties of copper and have no negative effect on drinking from a copper item. Pure copper reacts with oxygen, water and the residues in water, such as sulfur. It actually means the item has a high copper content and works well to purify the water. Discoloration of the inside is not harmful. If the discolorations become too severe, you can clean the bottle, pitcher, water tank or cup.

Dimensions: 11 cm high, Ø 8.5 cm.

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

Do not wash in the dishwasher. Clean with natural soap, a soft sponge and water at room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Our unique copper bottles, pitchers, water tanks and cups have been handmade in India for centuries. Precisely because they are handcrafted, each item is unique and may therefore differ slightly from the photo. There may also be irregularities in the material: that is part of the natural properties of copper.
