Usage and Care

Rinse the tin interior after each soak and pat dry to prevent mineral spotting. The verdigris shell needs only occasional dusting. Use mild, non-abrasive soap on both metals. For step-by-step guidance, see our daily usage tips and cleaning instructions.

Hammered vs. Polished Copper

Hammered copper scatters light, softens fingerprints, and brings rustic soul—ideal for farmhouse, Spanish Colonial, and Tuscan rooms. Polished copper gleams with mirror-like smoothness, amplifying color and light for a contemporary look, but shows water spots sooner and needs more upkeep. Choose texture-rich patina evolution or sleek modern shine based on your style and maintenance preference. Learn more about techniques in our hammering guide.

How it is Made

Skilled artisans in Santa Clara del Cobre, Mexico, heat, hand-hammer, and oxidize 16-gauge recycled copper to achieve the verdigris shell. The interior is then lined with pure tin—smooth, luminous, and durable—for an heirloom bath built to endure.

Artisan Testimony

“We treat each tub as a legacy piece—formed by fire, shaped by hand, and finished with soul. No two are alike, and that is the beauty.” — Juan Carlos Hernandez, Copper Artisan
