DORATO T LIGHT HOLDER

Coming Soon

Craft Type:  Kansa Kaam

Kansa is believed to have therapeutic properties according to Ayurveda, an ancient system of natural medicine in the Indian subcontinent. As the metal ages, it oxidizes and becomes darker. All this just adds to the beauty of this metal and is the reason why serving on this plate enhances the experience of dining. A small plate, this kansa dish can be used to serve appetizers, desserts or even light meals. Craftspeople skilled in the traditional and ancient craft of making kansa ware are often referred to as kansari karigars.

 

This product is handmade by kansari karigars from Orissa. These craft clusters are spread across Puri, Ganjam, Gajapati, Gunpur, Balasore, Balangir and Dhenkanal.

 

This product is handcrafted and therefore slight variations in colors, textures and forms are inevitable and aren’t flaws.

- Kansa wares are safe to serve from and eat out of. However, it is not advisable for storing food.
- Avoid using kansa ware for serving or eating extremely sour or citric foods.
- This product is not microwave-safe.
- Kansa naturally darkens with use, and there is little you can do to prevent its natural ageing. If left untreated bronze will eventually turn entirely, but unevenly, dark. This dark oxidized state is the natural color of all copper alloys and is safe to use.
