A Vijaysar Wooden Glass is a handcrafted vessel made from Vijaysar heartwood, botanically known as Pterocarpus marsupium. If you are using one for the first time, the most important things are a consistent soaking routine, gentle cleaning and proper drying.
This guide explains a simple way to use and care for your wooden glass without overcomplicating the traditional routine.
How to Use a Vijaysar Wooden Glass
- Rinse the glass thoroughly with clean water before use.
- Fill it with clean drinking water.
- Allow the water to remain in the glass for approximately 1 hour.
- Pour the infused water into another drinking glass.
- Rinse the wooden tumbler with clean water and allow it to air dry.
For consistency, follow the same routine each day instead of frequently changing the soaking time.
What Can Happen to the Water?
Because Vijaysar is a natural wood, the water may gradually develop a mild colour, aroma or taste. The exact result varies with the individual piece of wood, its age, grain and previous use. A darker or lighter colour by itself should not be treated as proof of authenticity.
How to Clean a Vijaysar Wooden Glass
- Rinse with clean water only.
- Avoid harsh soap, detergent, bleach and chemical cleaners.
- Do not place the glass in a dishwasher.
- Do not use it in a microwave.
- Allow it to air dry completely between uses.
Why Proper Drying Matters
Natural wood absorbs moisture. If it stays continuously wet, its surface and dimensions can change over time. Drying the glass in a ventilated area helps maintain the wood and reduces unnecessary moisture buildup.
Are Small Cracks or Changes Normal?
Minor changes in grain, colour, texture or dimensions can occur because real wood expands and contracts with moisture. Small surface cracks can also develop over time. Keep a small plate or bowl underneath during soaking if you notice occasional seepage.
If a product develops an unusual odour, visible spoilage or significant structural damage, stop using it and contact the seller for guidance.
How to Store the Glass
When not in use, keep the glass in a clean, dry and ventilated place away from prolonged direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not store it while it is still damp.
Choosing the Right Vijaysar Glass
