Coppersmith's craft has been known in Bulgaria since ancient times. Its development and technique perfecting bears the imprint of the socio-economic relations in Bulgarian society.

During the Bulgarian National Revival, with the distinguished differentiation among the metal-working crafts, coppersmith's trade specialized in kitchenware and ritual vessels. The reason for this is hidden behind the fact that copper is the softest and the most malleable among all the metals, that folk crafts use. Besides, copper has the highest heat conductivity. Thus, on one hand, copper is especially applicable in vessels, that are in touch with fire, and on the other hand it often fashions the articles quite specific shapes - tall stems, long handles, broad bottoms.

In contrast to silver and gold however, copper oxidizes easily, which leads to another peculiarity in manufacture - tinning or silver-plating the whole vessel or those of its parts that get in touch with the food or liquid.

One of the features of the Bulgarian coppersmith's trade is that it sticks strictly to the principle of advantage of shapes as well as of decoration. The practicality of an article is more important than its artistic value.

Coppersmiths make all kinds of articles for everyday necessities: "sinij"-s (baking dishes), trays, "pavur"-s (brandy flasks), "djezve"-s (coffee-pots), "kotle"-s (cauldrond), "sahan"-s (shallow copper bowls), "tas"-es (bowls), "ibrik"-s (ablution jugs), "kana"-s (jugs), coffee, wine and brandy sets as well as ritual vessels - baptismal fonts, collection plates, etc.
