The edition

An open edition. Each bottle made to order, and numbered.
No two carry the same number. Yours is etched into the glass beneath the bottle, written on its certificate, and kept with us.
A specimen number
Turn the number, then look under the bottle in the base view.
The vessel
Made to outlast what is inside it.
A body of fluted clear glass holds 700 ml. Around it rises a frame of sixteen polished bars plated in 22-carat gold, gathered at a collar under the neck and standing on eight legs laced with a gold lattice; the wide front bar carries the mark and the name. A ring of crystal-cut glass sits beneath a brushed gold cap, engraved with the mountain mark and topped with brushed silver.
The frame is made abroad to our drawing. Every bottle is assembled, checked and numbered in our own workshop near Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru, over twenty to thirty days.

The water
From a glacier-fed source.
Drawn from a glacier-fed Himalayan spring at about 2,500 metres, where snowmelt works slowly down through granite before it surfaces, cold and very clean. It is the softest water we bottle.

The ritual
How it is meant to be poured.
Serve it lightly chilled, at 8 to 10 °C, into fine crystal. Unscrew the cap, pour slowly, and let the bottle stand on the table between glasses: it is made to stay in view.
The papers
Your number, certified.
Each bottle carries its own number. It comes with a signed certificate of authenticity made out in your name, a hallmark certificate for its gold, and insurance papers.
