Care & Craftsmanship

Important Usage Note: To preserve the integrity of the metal, use only with room-temperature or cold water. Do not use with hot liquids.

Maintenance Guide: Hand wash gently with mild soap and dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent spotting. To restore the original luster and remove natural oxidation, rub with a paste of salt and vinegar, rinse with lukewarm water, and dry immediately.

Handmade Authenticity: Each carafe is a unique creation. Slight variations in the hammered texture, shape, or etching are celebrated as signs of the human touch and the traditional fire-and-hammer process.
