Traditional copper work in Mexico has its origins in the pre Hispanic period, mostly in areas where copper could be found on the surface, such as the states of Michoacán and Jalisco. After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, the Spanish took control of copper production, introducing European techniques but still needed indigenous labour. After the Mexican Revolution, copper smiths were limited to working with scrap metal making pots, plates, casseroles and other containers. Today, it remains home to hundreds of copper smiths which work in ways little changed from the colonial period.

The basic process is hammering, thinning out, shaping, trimming, bleaching, polishing and decoration. To begin work, the block or pieces is heated to red-hot. The first round of hammering is usually to flatten the piece into a circle which is usually done by a group of man wielding sledgehammers. Smaller hammers are used as the piece thins out and to make the sides curve up. The work needs to be precise as it is almost impossible to correct errors in the shaping without starting over. After the basic shape is obtained, the decorative and finishing work begins.

FEATURES:
1. Hammered copper
2. Handmade in Michoacan, Mexico
3. 6 copper tequila glasses and 1 copper tray

USE AND CARE
To maintain the natural beauty of the copper, we recommend using lemon while washing with mild soap and avoiding abrasive cleaners. Do not scrub / brush the outer surface. Over time, copper will develop a unique patina, enhancing its character.
