I Cu: 11 Terrific Brands To Get Copper Utensils & Tableware From

Skilled artisans and craftsmen meticulously come up with these brass and copper products from p-Tal. This brand specailises in hammering brass and copper sheets into utensils that are earthy, natural and healthy to store kitchen essentials. Their copper tumbler again, has a very rustic feel to it and there's none of the fancy-shmancy smooth round finishing. We also loved their Masala Daani that is a container box for all spices. They even have tea cups, bowls (katoris), tea pots and water dispensers made of brass (fyi - brass = copper + zinc), all made roughly and priced according to the quality of raw materials used. 

Coppre is a studio that is all about reinventing tradition to suit modern home and living. These guys work with metal artisans from across the country.

They are best known for their copper carafes, coming in different shapes and sizes and totally unlacquered. They also have tumblers and jugs, for the bedside, for lavish parties and just to serve any liquid at home. Whereas some carafes have a clean matte finish, some have a shiny, mirrored finish. These are priced at INR 665 upwards. 

Moving ahead from the monotonous copper shades and textures, here's a brand that offers colourful and artsy variants of copper utensils, all hand painted with minute detailing given a front seat. These utensils from Baarique, we're referring to glasses, plates, cutlery and bowls, all moulded by skilled artisans from Rajasthan and UP based on orders received. Some of their prints include peacocks, plants, fruits, traditional motifs and even mandala art, all done up on golden copper and brass utensils, symbolic of royalty the two states boast of.

Their patterned bottles are also a must-have for those who prefer the colours but want basic designs. These are priced at INR 1,750 upwards.

For the party animal within you, Nestroots has a range of copper bar accessories, cutlery, mugs and tumblers. They also have a range of kitchenware like a masala box, roti boxes made of copper and even spoon sets.

To make those mean drinks, try out their cocktail accessories that include a stirrer, measurer, strainer and bottle opener, each with a royal feel. After something basic, try out their cocktail shakers in silver, copper of gold finish. Prices start from INR 626.

ConsciousCo has a stellar range of copper products, all the way from copper carafes and tea strainers to roti boxes and brass condiment boxes. We were in absolute awe of the condiment boxes that had these carved floral lids. Not too extra, just the artistry on the brass and copper boxes gave us royal feels as the kings of Rajputana would get. Their condiment box can be used as a storage box, as a masala box with all the little copper bowls and the katories (small bowls) can be used seperately as well. Worth the buy, right?

Looking to spruce up your home accessories? For Home is where you need to focus for their mugs and plates.

We also loved the utensil holder for its simplicity and the copper charger plate if you want a blingy addition to your wall decor.

Have your favourite drinks or even sherbets and lassi  from these and you will get this subtle metallic earthy taste so that you know you're having the real deal. However, it's some of their other offerings that had us more interested. Enter: the handcrafted Pineapple Decorated Mukhwas Supari Set that comes with a copper finish and has this tropical look to it due to the pineapple build of the set.
