About these pieces
Glasses for water, lassi, chai and the pooja thali. Half are brass (35), with 13 silver plated, 9 stainless steel, 7 copper, 4 bronze and 2 aluminium. Heights run from 2.3 inch to 9.2 inch. Weights start at 60 g for a single glass and go up to 3.6 kg for sets.
Check the capacity, which is on the listing. A 110 ml cup is for tea. A 250 ml copper glass is a water glass. A 300 ml brass glass is the classic tall lassi glass. Then check whether you are buying one glass or a set, because sets are priced and weighed together. A heavier glass has thicker walls, dents less and keeps a cold drink cold a little longer in the hand.
Use brass and copper glasses for water, lassi and buttermilk served fresh. Do not leave milk, curd drinks or anything sour standing in them for hours. Wash by hand, dry at once and brighten with lemon and salt or tamarind when the colour dulls.
