About this piece

This silver-plated brass glass, a gilas, is 4.5 inches high. It is polished and made in Moradabad, and suits water or a festive drink at a table. The rim is smooth.

Rinse with warm water and dry the outside with a cloth. Avoid harsh scouring on the silver-plated surface. It is a graceful gift for a wedding. It also suits a festive drink for guests.

How it is made

Brass is melted and poured into sand moulds, cooled, then turned on a lathe to true the shape. Engravers cut the pattern by hand with a hammer and chisel. The piece is polished on a buffing wheel and sealed with a clear lacquer so it stays bright without weekly cleaning.

Care, shipping and returns

Wipe with a dry cloth. Keep away from detergents and damp. Handmade pieces vary slightly in finish, that is the point.

Dispatch in 1 to 3 working days from India by tracked courier. Shipping is charged by parcel weight and shown at checkout. Import duties and taxes, if any, are collected by the courier on delivery.

Good to know

All Kitchen and Serveware

Is brass safe for cooking and eating?

Yes with kalai (tin lining) on cookware, which our kadhais and handis carry. Avoid cooking tomato, tamarind or lemon in uncoated brass. Glasses and thalis are safe for water and dry food.

How do I clean brass utensils?

Lemon and salt or Pitambari after use, rinse and dry. Dishwashers and bleach pit the metal.

What is the weight?

Listed in grams on every piece; brass utensils are sold by weight and thicker walls last longer.

Do sets come in one carton?

Yes, glass and bowl sets ship together within two working days.

Can I re-tin the kalai?

Yes, a kalai wallah re-tins cookware every one to two years; most towns still have one before Diwali.

Is a 4.5 inch glass good for a daily drink?

Yes, at 4.5 inch it holds a drink for one person and sits easily on a tray.

How should the plating be protected?

Keep the glass dry after use and wash it by hand with mild soap.
