Living Metals

Care, not perfection.

Brass, copper and kansa are meant to be used. Their changing tones and small marks are not flaws; they are the record of a life around the table.

Wash by hand

Use mild soap and a soft sponge rather than a dishwasher or abrasive pad.

Dry immediately

Wipe away moisture with a soft, clean cloth after every wash.

Welcome patina

Expect living metals to deepen and change in character with time and use.

Brass

Wash by hand with mild soap and a soft sponge, then dry immediately with a clean cloth. Avoid prolonged soaking and abrasive pads. Brass naturally deepens from bright gold to a warmer, mellow tone.

Copper

Hand wash after use and dry thoroughly. Copper is a living metal, so changes in colour and small marks are natural. Use only as directed in each piece's description; carafes and jugs are intended for water.

Kansa

Clean gently with mild soap and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry with a soft cloth after washing. The alloy's surface and tone may vary subtly from piece to piece because of its hand-finished nature.

Always follow the specific guidance included with your piece. If you are unsure whether a vessel is suitable for a particular food or use, pause and check its product description first.
