This pot's body is completely solid copper and nonreactive food safe tin lining on the inside.. Not lacquered. So it will develop a natural patina on the outside, as real copper should.
Craftsmen with a hundred years of experience in the copper industry in Gaziantep City, Turkey, created this item using famous Turkish Copper, all made by hand.
GUARANTEED 100% COPPER - AUTHENTICITY TEST : After receiving the pot, if for any reason you suspect that it is not copper, drill a hole anywhere on the pot's body and check the hole. You will see 1.2 mm thick copper along the hole. Nothing else. We will send you a replacement immediately if you decide to do this test and send us the photos afterwards. (This test should be done within 7 days of receiving the kettle to avoid abuse of the replacement guarantee).
