What Makes This Glasses Special
Chinar Kansa Glasses:
These elegant glasses, measuring 2.5" x 2.5" x 4", are crafted from high-quality kansa (bronze) and feature a hand-etched Chinar tree motif—a symbol deeply rooted in the heritage of Jammu and Kashmir. The glasses are thick and substantial, offering a satisfying heft and durability that reflect superior craftsmanship.
Significance of the Chinar Motif:
The Chinar tree (Platanus orientalis) is revered across communities in Jammu and Kashmir for its longevity, strength, and beauty. Found near shrines and places of worship, the Chinar is considered sacred by both Hindus and Muslims, symbolizing resilience, unity, and spiritual tranquility. Its presence in art and daily life is a reminder of the region’s rich culture and enduring traditions.
What is Kansa and Its Health Benefits:
Kansa is a traditional alloy of bronze, highly valued in Ayurveda for its health-promoting properties. Drinking water or other beverages from kansa vessels is believed to balance the body’s pH, promote digestion, and support overall wellness. The natural minerals present in kansa are thought to help detoxify and energize the body, making these glasses not only beautiful but also beneficial for daily use.
Perfect for Everyday Use and Special Occasions:
Whether used for serving water, juice, or as a decorative accent, these Chinar Kansa Glasses add a touch of cultural heritage and elegance to any table. Their thick walls and solid construction ensure they are as practical as they are beautiful.

Meet Our Founder
Rooted in a rich cultural tapestry spanning Zambia, Canada, and the US, MOR's founder has experienced firsthand how traditions transcend borders. Like many immigrants, she initially struggled to find her place, but reconnecting with her cultural community made her feel at home. Now raising a child in the US, she's driven to create MOR—a celebration of culture that helps families embrace their heritage with pride, no matter where they are. MOR embodies the belief that no one should feel the need to fit in, but rather should be empowered to celebrate their unique cultural identity.
