About this collection
This page holds 7 copper jugs from ₹1,580, standing 8 to 11 inch tall and weighing 440 g to 800 g. All 7 are copper. The capacities on the listings are 1.3, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 and 1.9 litre, so every jug here is a table or bedside size.
Choose by litres and then by shape. A 1.3 or 1.4 litre jug fills about five glasses and suits a bedside table or a desk. For the dining table, 1.8 or 1.9 litre saves a refill during a meal. Height does not track capacity exactly: a 9 inch jug here holds 1.8 litre, while an 11 inch jug holds 1.6 litre, because one is wide and the other tall and slim. A wider jug is easier to clean by hand. Most of the range is priced near ₹1,805, with the costliest at ₹4,235.
Many families keep water in a copper jug overnight and drink it in the morning, a practice followed traditionally across India. Use the jug for plain water only, never juice, milk or lemon water. Copper darkens in days. Rub the inside and outside with lemon and salt or tamarind, rinse well and dry.
