The Heritage Copper Tray | Hand-Forged Raw Metal
$82

The Warmth of Living Metal

Forged by fire and hammer, each Heritage Copper Tray is a unique piece of functional sculpture. These vessels celebrate the organic imperfections of hand-beaten metal, offering a rich, earthy texture that grounds any interior. Designed as a versatile stage for your daily essentials, they bridge the gap between ancient craftsmanship and modern minimalist living.

Endless Utility

More than a serving piece, these trays act as a sophisticated sanctuary for your home. Use the smaller sizes as a catch-all for fine jewelry or a single tea vessel. The larger editions are perfect for organizing a full tea service, displaying curated incense, or serving as a textured centerpiece for botanicals and stones.

Care Ritual : Preserving Your Artifacts

Our collection is crafted from living metals and fine textiles designed to age gracefully alongside you. To preserve their integrity for generations, please observe the following principles:

Living Metal (Copper & Brass)

  • The First Use (Cookware): Wash gently with warm soapy water, dry completely, and apply a whisper-thin layer of cooking oil to condition the interior.
  • Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap and a soft sponge. Never use dishwashers, microwaves, or abrasive steel wool. (Avoid thermal shock: never rinse a hot pan with cold water).
  • Vital Precautions: Do not cook or store highly acidic/alkaline foods for prolonged periods. Raw metal is sensitive to moisture; always dry thoroughly immediately after washing and never store in damp conditions.
  • Embrace the Patina: The metal will naturally darken over time—a visual history of your rituals. To restore its original glow, polish gently with a lemon and salt paste.

Limited Edition Canvas & Textiles

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to harsh UV rays may fade natural pigments and weaken organic fibers over time.
  • Gentle Dusting: Keep the surface pristine by lightly dusting with a soft, dry bristle brush or a lint-free cloth. Strictly avoid damp cloths or chemical cleaners.
  • Climate Control: Display or store your artwork in a well-ventilated space, away from excessive humidity or severe temperature shifts.
