Washing Instructions
・Before first use, please rinse lightly with water.
・After using tableware, wipe off any moisture with a damp cloth and dry. Remaining moisture can cause verdigris (copper rust) to form.
・If the inside is dirty, please use a nylon sponge (for the inside only). Scrubbing with strong objects like metal scouring pads will peel off the tin plating.
・The exterior is colored with a film created by oxidative coloring, so using metal scouring pads, cleansers, melamine sponges, or bleach will damage the color. Basically, please wash with water.
Handling Instructions
・Dishwashers, microwaves, and induction cookers cannot be used.
・Copper has very high thermal conductivity, so please be careful of burns. If you are concerned about heat damaging your table, please use a placemat or plate.
・If oil, moisture, or salt remains attached for a long time, it may react with the copper and cause verdigris or stains. Please be careful of oil splashes and water droplets.
・If tea leaves or beverages are left inside for a long time, pigments may stain the inner tin. Please rinse promptly with water after use.
・Verdigris is not toxic if it forms. It can be used as is. If you are concerned, it can be removed by rubbing with a bamboo skewer or similar.
Maintenance
The surface is coated with natural wax. After use, remove moisture and dry, then polish with a soft, dry cloth to enhance the luster and achieve beautiful aging. The wax will gradually wear off with long-term use, but a beautiful rust film will then settle in its place. Please continue to dry-wipe and "nurture" your copper.
Repairs
Coloring, dents, etc., can be repaired for a fee. While some areas may be difficult, please feel free to consult us if you have any concerns.
Notes
※Due to the handmade nature, there may be individual differences in color and size.
※Copper will change over time with use. Please enjoy this aspect as well for a long time.
