Copper Water Jug | Zishta
Storing of water in copper vessels has its origins in Ayurveda.
Due to our climactic condition, presence of water borne diseases is extremely high and use of copper was identified as an effective tool to build immunity against such diseases.
Our ancestors had the practice of storing water in copper vessels and consume the next day to enhance their immunity.
With the advent of alloys, copper was effectively used in the making of bronze and brass cookware, which incorporated the health benefits of copper in the cooking process too.
Traditional Value
Zishta copper water sombu / lota is hand crafted with the highest quality copper by the artisans of Maharashtra whose history dates back to the times of Shivaji Maharaj when they started making armour plates using brass and copper for the army.
The Tambat makers of Maharashtra have unique skills honed over centuries to work with copper and brass metals.
The process starts with creating the mould for making the product of desired shape.
The rough product is heated to remove all impurities and cleaned using tamarind water and then scrubbed to provide the shine.
Finally the brass/copperware is hand worked for 3-4 hours with a finely balanced hand hammer beat on the surface to provide the unique craftsmen signature.
Artistic Value
Health benefits of drinking water from copper vessels have been extensively documented in Ayurveda.
Drinking water stored in copper vessels eliminates harmful bacteria.
The pH level of the water increases and it naturally becomes more alkaline.
Reduces incidence of hypertension; purifies blood and increases red blood cell formation.
