A Matter Of Copper; Copper was one of the fisrt metals to be forged by mankind. Thanks to its conductivity and malleability, it has been used in many different fields. Gaziantep's famous copper is known for the fact that items are made from a single piece of copper, without any forging. An Ehl-i Keyf is a special copper bowl in which you place ice around the outer chamber, and a rakı glass in the center; it then keeps the drink cool without watering it down.

A Matter Of Pleasure; The Ehl-i Keyf is made of copper from Gaziantep and is adorned with symbols whic are all chiseled by hand. It is a totally unique matter with a very special use. Fill the outer chamber with water, add a few drops of scented oil, light a candle in the center, and the rest is simply a matter of pleasure.
