Product Details

Description

✓ Not Plated, Not Coated
✓ Solid Metal Throughout
✓ Lead-Free, Food-Safe

Pick this up. Feel the weight. That heft is 99.9% pure copper — roughly three times heavier than a plated version of the same size. Plated serveware is a thin copper skin over zinc or brass. When it dents, the base metal shows through. When it scratches, the plating peels. This piece is the same pure copper all the way through, so it ages into a beautiful patina instead of flaking apart.

How to Verify This Is Pure Copper (Not Plated)

When your order arrives, you can confirm the copper is solid — not plated — with these simple tests:

  • The weight test: Solid copper is roughly 3× heavier than the same item in plated steel. Our products feel substantial in your hand.
  • The magnet test: Pure copper is NOT magnetic. If a fridge magnet sticks to it, the item is plated steel. Our copper won't attract a magnet.
  • The patina test: Leave the item exposed to air or lemon juice overnight. Real copper develops a natural greenish-brown patina. Plated copper doesn't.

Why use copper for mixing dough?
Copper's antimicrobial properties help maintain dough purity. In many traditions, copper is believed to improve the vitality and texture of the dough.
Will it tarnish with water?
Copper naturally patinas over time. If used with water, it will darken; you can restore the shine with a lemon-salt paste or dedicated copper cleaner.
Is it food safe?
Yes. Our copper is 99.9% pure and free from harmful alloys. For non-reactive needs (like acidic marinades), we recommend our tin-lined cookware.
Is this 100% pure copper or is it copper-plated?
99.9% pure, solid copper throughout — not a thin copper coating over steel, zinc, or any other base metal. You can verify it two ways when your order arrives: weight (heavy — about 3× a plated version), and the magnet test (real copper won't attract a magnet, plated steel will). It will also develop a natural reddish-brown patina over time, which plated copper can't do because the plating blocks the reaction. Every piece is hand-hammered by our artisans in Jodhpur, India since 1997.
