Yes — absolutely. Our brass (copper + zinc) and bronze (copper + tin) items are crafted from traditional, food-safe alloys. These metals have been trusted in Indian kitchens for centuries for both daily use and ceremonial occasions.

Brass and bronze aren’t just beautiful — they’re practical. These metals are naturally durable, retain heat well, and are known in Ayurveda to add trace minerals to food. They’re also timeless heirlooms, passed down across generations in Indian households.

Yes. Both brass and bronze naturally develop a patina — a soft, antique-like finish that shows authenticity. This doesn’t affect safety. If you prefer the original golden/earthy glow, you can polish them back anytime.

• For daily care: Wash with a mild soap, rinse, and dry immediately.
  
• For shine: Rub with a paste of tamarind pulp or lemon + baking soda, rinse, and dry.
  
• Avoid dishwashers, harsh scrubbers, or prolonged soaking. Hand care keeps their beauty alive.

Yes! Our thalis, bowls, and serveware are designed for daily meals — hot curries, rice, desserts, you name it. Brass and bronze hold heat well, so food stays warm longer, but please avoid using them directly on stovetops or induction burners.

Brass and bronze may very subtly influence flavor when holding certain dishes — that’s part of their charm and authenticity. Many traditional Indian families believe it enhances the dining experience.
