Copper Gifts
Copper gifts
One reason copper is chosen as a gift is that it lasts: a well-kept copper piece passes to the next generation. By tradition the seventh wedding anniversary is the copper anniversary. This category gathers the smaller pieces people choose for corporate gifts, weddings, housewarmings and special occasions.
A gift from a workshop carries information a boxed product does not. The hammer marks say a person made it, the tinning says it was meant to be used, and the weight in the hand says it was not stamped out in seconds. That accounts for most of why these pieces land well even with people who already own everything.
What makes a good gift?
For corporate gifting, cezve-and-cup sets, small trays and desk objects are the usual choice; on bulk orders a logo can be chisel-worked into the body. For weddings, small sugar bowls, candle holders and miniature ewers are given. For a new home, a pitcher or a serving platter is the practical answer.
- Easy to carry and post: a cezve, a hammam bowl, a single candle holder, a sugar bowl
- Something used daily: a 2-cup cezve or a pair of sahan dishes
- Something displayed: an engraved tray of 30 to 40 cm
- Something opened at a table: a two-person coffee set
Engraving and personalising
A name, a date or a company mark is cut into the copper by hand with a chisel, which leaves a line with real depth in it rather than a scorch on the surface. Leave the engraver a flat area to work on: a tray rim, the belly of a cezve, the foot of a candle holder. Send the text exactly as it should read, since we cut what we are given, and Arabic or Turkish script is no harder for us than Latin.
Bulk orders and packaging
Corporate orders of 50 pieces and above move to tiered pricing, the unit price falls as the quantity rises. Logo engraving and custom boxing are available on request; production time depends on quantity. Contact us through the wholesale page to ask for a sample.
Plan the timing. Hand work does not scale by adding a shift, so a run of two hundred engraved pieces takes weeks rather than days, longer if the pattern is new to us. For seasonal gifting, an order placed six to eight weeks ahead arrives comfortably.
