Hand Beaten Copper Mule Mug

This copper mule mug is an exclusive hand-beaten offering.  As the name suggests, hand beating involves hammering and beating metal by hand to give it a desired shape and design.  It has been a big part of the Indian history of traditional crafting.  Metalworks were standard household articles, all of which were hand-beaten by the native artisans.  It still holds its value today in artisanal crafting because it provides artisans with the freedom to innovate and customize to leave a unique mark on every crafting.  This is where the technique differs from machine hammering, where a standard pattern repeats itself on every piece. It also reduces the manufacturing waste to zero because every last bit of the metal gets efficiently used in the crafting
