Naisha Hindu Panch patra Pooja Lota and Spoon (Achman) Set Panchpatra - Handmade Pure Copper Cup

Arrived promptlyThe size is very small and over priced

The panchpatra set arrived extremely well packed in bubble wrap and foam, though on unwrapping I could see why this was necessary as the gauge of the copper is extremely thin. I suppose that is to be expected for a pure copper item that is currently priced at £11.49 however firm finger pressure on the top edges of the pot is sufficient to distort it.The set includes the panchpatra itself, an achmani spoon and a small sachet of pitambri powder for cleaning the copper.Although the light weight and size were well described in the sales information, I was a little disappointed at a slight ridge around the circumference of the pot a centimetre down from the top, and the press marks on the spoon. The pot ridge especially was deep enough to felt when running a finger down the side of the pot, Unfortunately the image I have posted does not show it as obviously as it appears to the eye, although interestingly it could not be seen on the inside surface. I guess that even a hand made item needs to be held, turned and pressed but I do get frustrated when sales pictures are clearly doctored to make the items look more attractive than the item really is. Apart from this the images are accurate and perhaps I am being over critical of what is, after all, a very reasonably priced item.My own use of this pot will be for ornamental rather than ceremonial use and the ridge is not quite intrusive enough to preclude this. I will therefore give a rating of 4 stars

This is a delicate panchpatra which is usually useful in pooja and during various ceremonies.This panchpatra is very dainty because of which I can press it easily.The Achman is small and has some sharp edges.Overall it is good to have but the quality could have been better.
