Hand-Engraved Kandkaer Copper Quarter Plate
Art: HA-CPR-0032-1PC
Description
Small enough for a single sweet, beautiful enough to stop a conversation.
This quarter plate is engraved by hand in the Kandkaer tradition, with patterns that carry echoes of Persian and Central Asian design. Use it for desserts, snacks and starters, or simply place it on display.
A Small Piece of a Great Tradition
Luxury is often found in the smallest things. A hand-engraved copper quarter plate turns tea-time, dessert or a single mithai into a moment.
Why It Becomes a Prized Possession
- Persian & Central Asian echoes: Kandkaer engraving rooted in centuries of cultural exchange.
- Build a set: single, pair, set of 4 or set of 6.
- One of a kind: because every motif is cut by hand, no two pieces share the same lines. Yours is unique.
- It grows richer with time: copper develops a deep, lived-in patina with every year of use. It ages with the family that uses it.
- Craft that survives because you choose it: every piece directly sustains the Kandkaars of Kashmir and keeps a disappearing art alive.
The Choice of Lining
Natural Copper: for display, dry foods and ceremonial serving, it shows the metal in its purest, warmest glow.
Tin-Lined (Kalai): before dispatch, the inside is hand-coated with a fine, food-safe layer of tin. This is how Kashmiri households have always prepared copper for daily food. Choose it for curries, yoghurt, rice and anything sour, salty or acidic.

The Ritual of Care
- Wash by hand with mild soap and a soft cloth, and dry immediately. Not suitable for the dishwasher or microwave.
- To bring back the shine, rub the outside with lemon and salt (or tamarind), then rinse and dry.
- For tin-lined pieces, clean the inside gently. Avoid acids and abrasive scrubbers.
- Or leave it to deepen into a rich, antique patina. Many collectors prefer it that way.
Note: each piece is engraved entirely by hand, so motifs, tone and finish may vary slightly from the images. These small differences are the signature of the artisan.
