Our Story
A small atelier four generationse deep.
Tamra was founded on a simple belief: that the vessels we use every day should be made slowly, by hand, from materials that give something back.
Our Mission
To keep an old craft alive — and useful.
We work with families of thathera artisans in Jandiala Guru, Punjab — a lineage of copper-shapers whose techniques were added to UNESCO’s list of intangible cultural heritage. Our role is to give their work a modern shape, and a fair place in the world.
The Process
Slow by design.
Each vessel passes through nine sets of hands. It is annealed over open fire, shaped over wooden anvils, seamed with copper solder, and finished with beeswax. Nothing is stamped, plated, or hurried.
Quality
99.7% pure copper, always.
No linings, no coatings, no mixed alloys. The metal is sourced from a single mill and independently assay-tested every quarter.
Sustainability
A vessel for a lifetime.
Copper is infinitely recyclable. Every Tamra piece comes with a lifetime repair service — bring it home, we’ll bring it back to life.
