A solid handcrafted kansa tumbler for everyday water, simple and traditional.
A Kansa glass or Kansa tumbler is a traditional bronze drinkware piece made using a specific mix of copper and tin. It has been used in Indian homes for generations to serve water and other everyday drinks.
This tumbler is handcrafted by West Bengal artisans, using the 78:22 copper–tin ratio described in ancient texts. Each piece is shaped by hand, giving it a natural weight and balance that you can feel when you hold it. It is not machine-made, and that shows in its finish and form.
