Naisha Hindoe Panch patra Pooja Lota en lepel (Achman) Set Panchpatra - Handgemaakte puur koperen beker

I’ve had two of these for 2 years. I fill them with oil on a heater for my massages. Copper is a wonderfulelement to work with. Works well- great size. Yes they are small. Yes they are thin- but it is pure copper- thus the higher price point.

Arrived promptlyThe size is very small and over priced

I have had panchpatras before and was shocked to see how thin the cup and spoon are. Not happy with the product. It came dented because it's very fragile.

The panchpatra set arrived extremely well packed in bubble wrap and foam, though on unwrapping I could see why this was necessary as the gauge of the copper is extremely thin. I suppose that is to be expected for a pure copper item that is currently priced at £11.49 however firm finger pressure on the top edges of the pot is sufficient to distort it.The set includes the panchpatra itself, an achmani spoon and a small sachet of pitambri powder for cleaning the copper.Although the light weight and size were well described in the sales information, I was a little disappointed at a slight ridge around the circumference of the pot a centimetre down from the top, and the press marks on the spoon. The pot ridge especially was deep enough to felt when running a finger down the side of the pot, Unfortunately the image I have posted does not show it as obviously as it appears to the eye, although interestingly it could not be seen on the inside surface. I guess that even a hand made item needs to be held, turned and pressed but I do get frustrated when sales pictures are clearly doctored to make the items look more attractive than the item really is. Apart from this the images are accurate and perhaps I am being over critical of what is, after all, a very reasonably priced item.My own use of this pot will be for ornamental rather than ceremonial use and the ridge is not quite intrusive enough to preclude this. I will therefore give a rating of 4 stars

I recommend this product for it’s quality, size and appearance.
