Brass Storage Dabba - Traditional Hammered Kitchen Food Storage Container for Daily Use

The Brass Storage Dabba is a traditional kitchen food storage container made for everyday Indian homes. Each piece is hand-hammered and finished with a food-safe tin coating inside, making it suitable for storing snacks, kheer, nuts, leftovers, or packing a home-style tiffin.

Designed for daily use, these containers also work well as thoughtful, long-lasting gifts.

Product Highlights

• Hand-hammered brass construction - Each dabba is shaped and hammered by hand, giving it strength, character, and a slightly unique finish that machine-made containers lack.
• Food-safe tin coating inside - The inner tin lining (kalai) adds a protective layer, reducing direct contact between food and brass. This makes the container safer for regular kitchen storage.
• Suitable for daily storage and tiffin use - Ideal for snacks, dry foods, sweets, kheer, nuts, or packed meals. You can also combine different sizes to create your own lunch box set.
• Traditional material with functional benefits - Brass, with zinc as part of the alloy, is known for its anti-oxidant properties that help preserve stored food when used correctly.
• Multiple size options - Available in small, medium, and large sizes to suit different storage needs in the kitchen.
