Copper

Copper dinnerware is one of the defining visual elements of an upscale Indian restaurant. The warm copper finish on the outside combined with food-safe stainless steel on the inside gives you the traditional look and heat retention of copper without the reactivity or maintenance issues of pure copper cookware. Our copper and stainless steel dinnerware collection includes thali platters, katori bowls, kadai serving bowls, handi bowls, dal dishes, oval serving dishes, tava plates, dessert cups, pitchers, tumblers, and buffet serving utensils, all designed to create a coordinated, premium table presentation for Indian dining.

Serving Bowls and Dishes

The core of any copper dinnerware setup is the serving bowls. Our copper and stainless steel katori bowls pair with copper thali platters for a traditional thali set. For serving curries, dal, and gravy dishes tableside, we carry copper handi bowls and dal dish lotas in the classic Punjabi handi shape. Our copper kadai serving bowls with brass handles are popular for serving sizzling entrees like chicken tikka masala, paneer dishes, and karahi-style curries directly at the table. For biryani and rice service, the copper oval au gratin dishes come in 16 oz, 23 oz, and 32 oz sizes.

Thali Platters and Plates

Our 13-inch copper and stainless steel thali platter is the centerpiece of a premium Indian table setting. Pair it with copper katoris, a copper tumbler, and copper serving bowls for a fully coordinated copper dining experience. We also carry 10-inch copper dinner plates with a hammered exterior for a more casual but still elevated look. For appetizer and snack service, our copper tava plates come in 7-inch, 9.25-inch, 10-inch, and 11-inch sizes.

Drinkware and Accessories

Complete your copper table setting with our copper tumblers for water and lassi service, and our handcrafted copper and brass pitchers for tableside water or beverage service. We also carry copper dessert cups for serving gulab jamun, rasgulla, kheer, and ice cream, and copper buffet serving ladles with solid copper handles for buffet and catering setups.

Why Copper and Stainless Steel

Pure copper is reactive with acidic foods and requires regular polishing to maintain its appearance. Our copper dinnerware solves both problems by using 18/8 food-grade stainless steel on the interior surface where food makes contact, and copper on the exterior for the visual warmth and heat retention that copper is known for. Many pieces also feature brass handles and bases for added elegance and durability. The result is dinnerware that looks like traditional Indian copper serveware, is completely food safe, and cleans as easily as regular stainless steel.
