COPPER CANISTER
Regular price $185.00Element: Cu
Origin: Bhala, Sultanate of Oman
Copper has been mined and smelted in the hills of Oman for more than 5,000 years. The inhabitants of Oman were among the earliest people in the world to practice the art of smelting, and copper work laid the foundation for all subsequent forms of metallurgy.
This copper vessel is handcrafted in Bhala from local Omani copper mined in Sohar. Traditionally used for storage of luban (frankincense) and bhakoor, it is also suitable for the storage of herbs, woods, resins, and other precious items.
This is a handmade item therefore each piece is unique, with sizes varying ever so slightly. Crafted from one hundred percent Omani copper in the Sultanate of Oman.
To care for this item please wipe clean with a warm damp cloth, gentle soap optional. A natural patina will develop over time.

Conscious sourcing
To ensure efficacy and an experience of the highest quality Bio Alchemy Olfactive travels the world to source each botanical ingredient and offering, working closely with farmers, ethnobotanists, harvesters, distillers, and surrounding communities.
Traceability and sustainability are integral to our work. The botanical materials that make up our collection are sourced with an eye towards sustainable growth practices, mindful cultivation and extraction, and reverence for the cultural traditions that have dictated their use for centuries.
All products are formulated in Bio Alchemy Olfactive’s private lab with exclusively sourced ingredients. Each bottle is hand poured, labeled and packaged.
