Copper care:
To clean hand wash with mild detergent, rinse well and dry with a soft cloth. Copperware should never be left to air dry. As copper is a metal that tarnishes easily, it is normal for it to develop a dull and dark bluish green coating (patina) as a protection from corroding. Periodical polishing with a metal polish like Brasso will help maintain its shine. For a natural alternative, polishing with lemon juice will also remove tarnish and retain shine.
Trade Aid is a social enterprise creating fairness in trade. They work with small food and craft producers around the world, and support and educate kiwi consumers to join in creating a world where trade is fair for all. Founded right here in Christchurch, New Zealand in 1973.
* Master artisans are created through Aspiration International. Business support and mentoring encourages artisans to open their own workshops, and to pass their intergenerational skills along to the next generation by employing young artisans utilising traditional handicraft skills.
