Traditional copper work is a longstanding tradition in Mexico, particularly in Santa Clara de Cobre. To learn more about hammered copper and its history, please enjoy our Journal post The Making of an Heirloom.

Care: Wash and immediately dry your copper items after use to prevent spotting. DO NOT use steel wool, steel scouring pads or harsh detergents on copper goods. When not dried immediately, spotting can occur due to the trace amounts of chemicals in your tap water that can cause a reaction with the copper. Some people don't mind this spotting; they will actually let it build up on the cup over time into a matte patina finish that many folks find appealing. If you prefer the original bright shine, you can easily polish and return the copper to its original condition.
