Craftsmanship

How a copper bottle actually gets made, and who makes it.

A coppersmith hand-hammering a copper bottle in a workshop, surrounded by finished copper vessels.

Hand-hammered, not stamped

Most inexpensive copper drinkware is machine-stamped or spun from thin sheet copper. Our hammered pieces are worked by hand, blow by blow, over a form — a slower and more expensive process, but one that leaves a visibly different texture and a heavier, more substantial vessel.

Where it's made

Our current collection is produced by small coppersmith workshops in Moradabad and other parts of Uttar Pradesh, India — a region with a metalworking tradition that goes back generations. We work directly with these workshops rather than through large anonymous exporters.

What 'craftsmanship' means to us

It means visible asymmetry is a feature, not a defect. It means smaller batches and occasional waitlists. And it means being honest, on every product page, about exactly who made a piece and how.

This page describes craft and production practices — it makes no health or medical claims about any product.
