About this piece

These brass glasses, or gilas, hold water, milk, or chhaach for the thali. Each one stands 4 inches tall and weighs 220 grams, cast from pure brass in Moradabad. The polished finish keeps the surface smooth to hold.

Rinse with warm water and dry the outside with a cloth. Avoid leaving acidic drinks in them for long. Pair one with a brass thali set for a festive table, or gift it at a wedding or Bhai Dooj.

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 it a good size for one drink?

At 4 inch and 220 g it is a small single glass, the right size for one serving at a meal.

Does brass need care after use?

Brass can dull over time, so wash it after use, dry it well and avoid leaving acidic food in it.
