About Copperware


Tamtas, coppersmiths, fashion vessels from sheet copper for daily and ritual use. Copper called ‘tamba’ in Sanskrit, is regarded sacred by the people of Himalayas. Every temple has an object made of copper and every house has a copper pot to store water. The metal is known to have medicinal properties and keeps water pure. Copper smithery is a hereditary profession and is more prevalent in Haryana and Kashmir. Woman sometimes help out with lighter work. The tamtas work from home. The craftsmen buy the sheets from contractors who procure them from rolling mills in Jagadhari in Haryana. Copper was initially extracted by the tamtas from local mines, process which was a closely guarded secret. Pots are formed in to halves and joined with solder. The sheet is formed by drawing it over swage stone. The finished vessel is heated until red-hot and immediately buried in a pit of rice husk and acid. It comes out shining. The rim or mouths are finished by beading and handles are riveted on. The surface is fatigue resisted by peening. The concentric peening acts as ribbing and strengthens the wall. The cultural influences, Tibetan and shaivite, in the region are reflected in the motifs and forms of the vessels. The same vessel is made in various shapes for the Kumaoni, Garhwali and Nepali customer. The tamtas also specialize in another kind of decorative ware called Ganga-Jamuni in which brass and copper are used together. The two metals have different melting points and joining them is a specialized task. The traditional copper ware of Kashmir is created by three processes of shaping, decoration, and tinning .The surface is usually highly ornamented with a profusion of stylized floral and leaf forms, religious symbols (such as the mihrab or prayer arch), geometric and calligraphic patterns, as well as elaborate hunting scenes. The patterns are formed on the metal sheet using combination of techniques including repousse, piercing and chasing. The raised patterns may be further highlighted by oxidizing the depressed surface. The indigenous product range consists of luxurious household items such as surahi, rosewater sprinklers, incense burners, hookah bases, samovars, decorative plaques and large trays with stands which perform the role of mobile tables. A number of products are utilized in Islamic rituals - ewers and basins are used for ablutions and henna holders are used at pre-wedding ceremonies. Copper vessels also form a crucial component of the Kashmiri bride’s trousseau.
