About this piece
A sombu is a small copper pot used in South Indian homes for water. This set from the seller has a hammered copper pot, a matching tumbler and a lid, and the seller says the surface has an organic texture.
The photo shows a round pot, a small tumbler and a shallow round dish, which seems to be the lid turned over. The seller does not give the capacity, height or weight on the page, so please check those before you order. The seller lists it as a new launch.

Looking after it
