Handmade Bronze Kansa Dinner Plate for Ayurvedic Dining

Q1. Is this Kansa dinner plate suitable for everyday use or only for special occasions?

Ans :  The Kansa dinner plate is highly durable and perfectly suitable for everyday use. While its handcrafted finish and traditional appeal make it ideal for festive or formal meals, it’s designed to handle daily wear. Many users prefer using it regularly due to its Ayurvedic benefits, as it promotes healthy digestion and adds a mindful touch to routine meals.

Q2. What type of food can be served on this bronze Kansa plate?

Ans :  This plate is versatile and can be used to serve all types of foods, from traditional Indian meals like dal, rice, roti, and sabzi to continental spreads and salads. Its wide surface accommodates a full thali meal comfortably. The slightly raised edges help keep curries or moist dishes contained, making it a practical choice for both dry and wet food varieties.

Q3. Does the plate affect the taste or temperature of the food?

Ans :  Yes, one of the traditional benefits of using Kansa dinnerware is its subtle influence on food. The metal tends to maintain warmth longer than regular plates and can slightly enhance the flavor of certain dishes. It also adds a natural feel to the dining experience, encouraging slower, more mindful eating, which is a key aspect of Ayurvedic living.

Q4. Is this dinner plate safe for children or elderly family members?

Ans :  Absolutely. The Kansa plate is made from natural metals and does not contain any toxic coatings or chemicals, making it safe for users of all ages. It's a great alternative to plastic or synthetic dinnerware and supports healthy eating habits. However, due to its weight, it may be best handled with care by younger children.

Q5. What makes Kansa different from other metal plates like stainless steel or copper?

Ans :  Kansa is an alloy of copper and tin, traditionally used in Ayurveda for its health-promoting properties. Unlike stainless steel, which is neutral, or copper, which can react with acidic foods, Kansa is non-reactive and supports better digestion and energy balance. Its handcrafted look and Ayurvedic heritage also make it more culturally rich and unique compared to mass-produced metal plates.

Q6. Do you ship the Kansa dinner plates internationally?

Our international delivery covers major countries such as the USA, UK, Canada, Dubai, Australia, Mauritius, Singapore, and more. Each item is securely packaged to ensure it arrives in excellent condition, allowing customers across the globe to enjoy the tradition and wellness of Harishyam Arts.

To ensure the longevity, beauty, and wellness benefits of your Harishyam Arts Handmade Bronze Kansa Dinner Plate, it’s important to follow proper care and maintenance practices. Made using traditional methods with a pure brass alloy (Kansa), this plate is both durable and delicate, requiring thoughtful handling.

After each use, rinse the plate with warm water to remove any food particles. Use a mild, natural soap and a soft sponge or cloth for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive scrubbers, or steel wool, as they can damage the surface and reduce the shine of the metal. Never soak the plate in water for long periods, as it can lead to tarnishing over time.

Once cleaned, dry the plate immediately using a soft cotton or microfiber cloth. Leaving water or moisture on the surface may result in water spots or oxidation. Kansa is known to develop a natural patina over time, which is not a flaw but rather a sign of authenticity and aging. However, if you prefer a brighter appearance, the plate can be polished occasionally.

For natural polishing, mix lemon juice with baking soda or tamarind paste with water to form a gentle cleaning solution. Apply it with a soft cloth in circular motions, rinse well, and dry completely. This restores shine without affecting the plate’s Ayurvedic properties.

Do not use the Kansa plate in a dishwasher, microwave, or over an open flame. Store it in a dry, clean space—preferably wrapped in a soft cloth—to prevent scratches and preserve its handcrafted finish.

With proper care, your Ayurvedic bronze dinner plate – hand made will remain a treasured part of your kitchen, offering wellness and elegance through every meal
