Pure Brass Glass ( Set of 2 in gift box ) - Kalai (Tin) coated - Hammered Finish - Pendiwale Finish

Uses & Culinary Benefits

• Safe for All Beverages: The inner tin (kalai) lining prevents brass from reacting with acidic liquids, making these glasses safe for water, chaas (buttermilk), lassi, fresh fruit juices, and milk.
• Natural Temperature Retention: Brass keeps cold beverages chilled longer than glass or ceramicware.
• Ayurvedic Health Properties: Drinking water stored in brass helps balance alkaline levels and supports immune health, digestion, and skin vitality.
• Versatile Serving: Ideal for everyday home use, festive dinners, traditional Indian meals, or as a thoughtful heritage gift.

Care & Longevity Instructions

• Hand Wash Only: Wash using a soft sponge and mild soap. Avoid harsh steel wool or abrasive scrubbers that can strip the inner tin layer.
• Prevent Darkening (Outer Brass): Clean the outer surface occasionally using pitambari powder, tamarind paste, or a mix of lemon juice and baking soda to restore its golden shine.
• Immediate Drying: Always dry thoroughly with a soft cloth right after washing to prevent water spots and oxidation stains.
• Re-tinning (Kalai Maintenance): Over months or years of heavy use, the inner tin layer may gradually wear down. Simply take it to a local traditional metal artisan for re-kalai (re-tinning) to make it brand new again.

Q: Can I drink acidic beverages like lemonade or buttermilk in this glass?

A: Yes! Plain brass reacts with citrus and dairy, but the internal Kalai (tin) coating acts as a non-reactive barrier, making it 100% safe for all drinks.

Q: Why does the inner tin layer look silvery or uneven?

A: Kalai is applied by hand using molten tin and cotton swabbing. The subtle variations and silvery texture are proof of genuine handcrafted quality, not a defect.

Q: Is it dishwasher safe?

A: No, the harsh detergents and intense heat of a dishwasher will strip the tin lining and tarnish the brass.
