Custom Hammered Copper Teapot

Custom Hammered Copper Teapot represents the fusion of traditional metalworking artistry with functional water-serving capability. Each teapot is individually crafted by experienced coppersmiths who have inherited generation-spanning techniques for shaping copper through precise hammer blows. The creation begins with selecting a high-quality copper sheet of uniform thickness. The sheet is cut to pattern and initial forming begins through progressive hammer strikes. The artisan progressively shapes the teapot body from a flat disc into a three-dimensional form, with each hammer blow slightly stretching and shaping the copper. The teapot body is formed through hundreds of repeated hammer strikes, each placed with precision to create smooth curves and balanced proportions. The neck is formed separately through a narrowing technique that requires careful temperature and pressure control. The spout is formed and fitted, with special attention to the correct angle for drip-free pouring. The lid is crafted separately with a precision fit. The handle is made from non-heat-conducting materials such as wood or rattan shaped ergonomically. The interior finishing process includes food-grade tin lining application through hot tinning technique, where molten tin is evenly coated across the entire interior surface to form a protective barrier between the copper and water. The exterior is finished with selective polishing and natural patina.
