SAMSKARA APPETIZER BOWLS (SET OF 2)

Coming Soon

Craft Type:  Kansa Kaam

Often considered a healthy metal to eat and drink in, kansa (bronze) is highly recommended for its therapeutic properties by Ayurveda, a natural system of medicine that dates back several millennia and originated in the Indian subcontinent. The shiny surface and matte texture of the serveware transforms even the simplest of meals into one that is special and celebratory.



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 colours, textures and forms are inevitable and aren’t flaws.

- Wash by hand only, using a mild dishwashing soap, or with lemon and baking soda, or with imli (tamarind) as done traditionally. Use a soft sponge to avoid abrasions. Clean immediately after use, and wipe it dry using a clean, dry cloth.
- 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.
