Frequently Asked Questions
Product Use
What are the traditional benefits of storing water in a copper vessel?
Storing water in copper vessels is a traditional practice that has been used for generations, including in Ayurvedic traditions. Copper itself is an essential mineral that the body needs for normal functions including energy production, connective tissue formation, nervous-system function, and immune-system function.
However, this bottle should be enjoyed as a traditional copper-water vessel—not as a treatment or replacement for a balanced diet or medical care.
How do I use a copper water bottle?
Fill the bottle with plain, room-temperature water, close the lid, and allow the water to rest for several hours if you wish to follow the traditional copper-water practice. Drink the water normally and clean the bottle regularly.
Can I leave water in the bottle overnight?
Yes. If you choose to follow the traditional practice, you can fill the bottle with plain water and allow it to rest overnight. There is no need to leave water stored for extended periods.
Can I put hot water in the bottle?
No. Use cool or room-temperature water only. Do not use the bottle for boiling or very hot liquids.
Can I use lemon water, juice, or other beverages?
No. Because the interior is unlined copper, this bottle should be used for plain water only. Avoid acidic beverages such as lemon water, fruit juice, vinegar-based drinks, and carbonated beverages. Acidic liquids can increase copper leaching.
Is this bottle functional or decorative?
Both. It is designed to hold drinking water while its hand-painted Peacock Feather artwork makes it a beautiful piece of functional art.
Materials
What is this water bottle made of?
This bottle is made from 100% pure, unlined copper. The exterior is hand-painted with a vibrant Peacock Feather folk-art design.
Why choose a copper water bottle?
Copper is an essential mineral that plays important roles in the body's normal functioning, including energy production, connective tissue formation, nervous-system function, and immune-system function.
Copper vessels have also been used traditionally for storing water for generations.
Does the bottle have an interior lining?
No. The interior is unlined copper, meaning water comes directly into contact with the copper.
Is each bottle unique?
Yes. Every Dastkaari bottle is individually hand-painted. Small variations in brushwork, color, and pattern are part of the handmade character of the piece.
Will the copper change color over time?
Yes. Natural copper develops a patina as it ages. Changes in color or darkening of the copper are natural characteristics of genuine copper and can add to its character.
What makes this bottle different from an ordinary water bottle?
This isn't just a water bottle. It brings together traditional copper craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and hand-painted folk art—making it both useful and beautiful.
Care
How should I clean my copper water bottle?
Rinse the bottle regularly with water and allow it to dry completely. Because the interior is unlined copper, natural changes in color and patina may occur over time.
Can I put the copper bottle in the dishwasher?
No. Hand wash only. Dishwasher heat and detergents can damage the copper and the hand-painted exterior.
Can I use steel wool or abrasive scrubbers?
No. Avoid steel wool, scouring pads, and harsh abrasive cleaners. These can scratch the copper and damage the hand-painted artwork.
How can I clean natural tarnishing from the copper?
Use a gentle copper-cleaning method on the unpainted copper areas only. Always rinse thoroughly afterward. Never use acidic cleaning solutions on the hand-painted exterior, as they can damage the artwork.
How do I protect the hand-painted artwork?
Treat your bottle as functional art. Avoid abrasive materials, harsh chemicals, prolonged exposure to moisture on the exterior, and direct heat. Handle it gently and hand wash as recommended.
How often should I clean the bottle?
Clean and rinse the bottle regularly, especially when changing or refilling the water. Allow it to dry completely between uses.
