About this piece
A copper water bottle from Milton in a tall tapered shape, narrow at the top and wider at the base, with a flat copper coloured cap. The seller says the bottle is coated with lacquer and lists it as leak proof.
Copper vessels for drinking water are a long standing custom in Indian homes, and copper is traditionally linked with the Sun in Jyotish. This bottle suits someone who likes a distinctive shape on the desk or table.
How it is used
Use it as a drinking water bottle at home or at work. Many Indian homes store water in copper vessels as 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.
