About this piece
A copper water bottle from Milton with a slim cylindrical body, a narrow neck and a smooth polished finish. The Milton name is printed near the base. The seller lists it as copper and leak proof.
Storing drinking water in copper vessels is an old custom in Indian homes, and copper is traditionally linked with the Sun in Jyotish. The bottle suits someone who wants a plain, everyday copper bottle for the desk, the bag or the puja room.
How it is used
Use it as a drinking water bottle at home or at work. Many Indian homes store water in copper vessels, and some leave the water standing for a few hours, which is a household custom. Wash it by hand after use.
Looking after it
- Wash by hand. The seller's care card uses lemon juice or vinegar with salt, shaken inside the bottle.
- Copper darkens with time and can be cleaned the same way.
