Brass Jugs
About this collection
A brass jug is bought for serving water at the table, for a pooja, or as a traditional piece in a kitchen. Capacity and weight vary a lot between designs, so check the listing before choosing a size for your family. Designs with a name in brackets, such as Lemon, differ in shape, so read the listing photo as well as the figures.
Do not keep sour liquids such as lemon water in brass for long, because the metal reacts with acid. Rinse the jug after each use, dry the outside, and polish only when the surface dulls, so the finish lasts longer. Keep the jug on a tray at the table so a wet base does not mark the wood.

How should a brass jug be cleaned?

Which size suits a dining table?
Choose a capacity that matches the number of people you serve, and check the weight so the jug is easy to lift when full.
