Set of Two Generous Kansa Katoris for Daily Meals or Festive Feasts

Q1. What is the significance of using Kansa for serving food?

Ans :  Kansa, a traditional Indian alloy of copper and tin, is known for its wellness benefits and cultural importance. It’s believed to balance the doshas in Ayurveda and promote better digestion. Serving food in Kansa bowls not only enhances the nutritional value but also adds a touch of heritage to every meal. Its elegant, rustic charm makes it ideal for both daily use and festive occasions.

Q2. Are these Kansa katoris safe for everyday use?

Ans :  Yes, these Kansa katoris are completely safe for daily use. Crafted from high-quality, food-safe brass and bronze alloy, they are durable and naturally resistant to corrosion. They don’t react with acidic foods and are free from harmful coatings or synthetic finishes, making them a reliable and healthy choice for everyday meals, whether you're serving curries, lentils, or traditional desserts.

Q3. Can I gift these bowls on special occasions?

Ans :  Absolutely! These beautifully handcrafted Kansa bowls make an excellent gift for weddings, housewarming parties, anniversaries, and festive celebrations. Their elegant design and cultural richness reflect warmth, tradition, and thoughtful gifting. When paired with other traditional tableware like a Bronze Serving Bowl Large with Lid and Ladle, they become a memorable and meaningful gift choice.

Q4. Are these bowls handcrafted or machine-made?

Ans :  All products from Harishyam Arts, including this set of Kansa katoris, are meticulously handcrafted by skilled Indian artisans. Each piece is made using age-old techniques passed down through generations, ensuring unique variations in texture and finish. This handcrafted quality brings a distinctive, artisanal character to every bowl, setting it apart from mass-produced items.

Q5. Can these bowls be used for both hot and cold dishes?

To ensure your handcrafted Kansa bowls from Harishyam Arts remain beautiful and functional for years, proper care and maintenance are essential. These bowls are made from a traditional bronze alloy (Kansa), known for its durability and health benefits. However, like all artisanal metalware, they require a gentle touch and specific handling to retain their natural sheen and finish.

• Cleaning:  Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or steel wool, as they can scratch or tarnish the surface. Instead, wash your Kansa katoris with a mild, natural dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge. Rinse thoroughly in warm water to remove any soap residue. For tough stains, a paste of tamarind or lemon juice mixed with salt can be used occasionally to naturally restore the shine. Do not soak the bowls in water for long durations, as it may affect the metal’s integrity.

• Drying & Storage:  After washing, always dry the bowls immediately with a soft, dry cloth to prevent water spots and oxidation. Store them in a dry place, away from excessive moisture. If stacking multiple pieces, place a soft cloth or tissue between them to avoid surface scratches.

• Usage Tips:  Kansa bowls are best used for serving rather than cooking. Avoid placing them on direct heat or using them in microwaves and dishwashers. They are ideal for serving warm or room-temperature foods like dals, sabzis, sweets, and snacks.

With mindful care, your Traditional Kansa Bowls with Lid and Brass Spoon or matching Bronze Serving Handi with Cover and Ladle will continue to be a treasured part of your dining traditions. At Harishyam Arts, we celebrate slow living and conscious dining — and with these steps, your serveware will age gracefully, developing a rich patina that adds to its timeless appeal.
