Each tea server is handcrafted by hammering and cutting brass, giving it a distinct character that evolves over time. The natural color change that develops with use makes every piece unique and also a thoughtful gift. Because each item is handmade, variations in shape, size, and texture will occur. These differences are part of the charm of handcrafted brassware. With regular use, the surface will oxidize, enhancing its unique texture. After washing, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Proper care forms a protective oxide layer and reduces metallic odor. Do not leave unwashed or in contact with food for long periods, as this may cause darkening or verdigris. To remove darkening or verdigris, polish with a mixture of vinegar and water or an abrasive detergent. For stubborn stains, soak overnight in diluted vinegar before polishing.
