Usage & Historical Context
Hammered copper jugs were traditionally used for storing and serving water, especially in joint families and community kitchens. The hammered texture is not only decorative but also increases surface area—allowing faster ion exchange with water. These jugs were common in Gujarati, Rajasthani, and Ayurvedic households.

Benefits
The jug naturally purifies water and keeps it cool. The hammer-finish adds grip and a handcrafted aesthetic. With a wide spout and sturdy handle, it’s practical for everyday use and elegant enough for guests. Store water overnight in this jug to experience copper’s full health benefits. A beautiful blend of wellness and tradition.

Copper is a living metal — it reacts to air, moisture, and heat. Over time, it develops a natural patina, which is part of its charm. With regular care, your copperware will stay beautiful and functional for years.

Daily Use Care
Rinse and wipe after every use: Use mild dish soap and lukewarm water. Dry immediately with a soft cloth to avoid water spots.

Avoid acidic foods in unlined copperware (e.g., tomato, lemon, tamarind) as copper reacts with acids.

For lined cookware (tin or stainless steel), treat the lining gently—do not scrub aggressively.

Weekly or Occasional Cleaning
1. Natural Cleaning Methods
Lemon & Salt: Cut a lemon, dip in salt, rub the surface, rinse with water, and dry thoroughly.

Vinegar & Salt Paste: Mix equal parts white vinegar and salt, apply with a soft cloth, rinse, and dry.

Tamarind Pulp: Gently scrub with soaked tamarind pulp to remove tarnish and bring back shine.

2. Pitambari Powder (Recommended)
Safe and effective for copper polishing.

Apply a small amount of Pitambari with a damp cloth or sponge.

Rub gently, rinse with clean water, and wipe dry.

Do not use on tin-lined or lacquer-coated areas.

Copper Drinking Water Vessels (Glass, Jug, Lota, Jar)
Clean regularly to avoid copper oxide buildup.

Avoid storing water in copper for more than 8–10 hours.

Never store milk, juices, or acidic liquids in copper vessels.

Rinse and dry every morning before refilling.

Storage Tips
Keep in a dry, ventilated area.

For unused items, wrap in cotton or muslin cloth to avoid darkening due to oxidation.

Don’t stack wet copper items to prevent spotting or green marks (verdigris).

Optional: Natural Patina vs. Polished Look
Some people love the antique patina that forms over time — it's safe and aesthetic.

If you prefer a polished look, clean more frequently with Pitambari or natural methods.
