Asi Hand-Hammered Copper Pitcher

Traditional copperwork shaped for the contemporary table

The Asi Copper Pitcher draws from the traditional milk pots of Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, a region known for its long history of metalworking. Hand hammered by skilled artisans, its tapered body is finished with a curved handle, defined pouring spout, and fitted lid.

Each pitcher is formed entirely by hand rather than through mass production. Closely spaced hammer marks create a textured surface that reflects the movement of the artisan’s tools, making subtle differences between pieces an expected part of the craft.

Craft & Regional Origin

Kahramanmaraş Copperwork: Handcrafted by skilled artisans in Kahramanmaraş, Turkey.
Hand Hammered Surface: Visible hammer marks cover the body of the pitcher and distinguish each handmade piece.
Traditional Form: The lidded silhouette is based on vessels historically used for storing and serving milk.

Material & Construction

Solid Copper Body: Made from hand hammered copper with a natural polished finish.
Tin Lined Interior: The interior is lined with food safe tin using traditional techniques to create a suitable surface for beverages.
Polished Exterior: The outer copper surface is polished to maintain its warm color and help slow tarnishing.
Artisan Variation: Differences in hammering, shape, dimensions, and finish are natural characteristics of handmade metalwork.

Serving & Placement

Water Service: Holds up to 39 fluid ounces for serving water at the table.
Covered Design: The fitted lid protects the contents between pours.
