Vintage Brass Pickle Box

$75.00

Dimensions: 9cm diameter, 4cm high.
Code: METAL 0921

This cast brass pickle box was handmade in Rajasthan in the late 19th century to early 20th century. It would have been used alongside a chapatti (unleavened flatbread) box, similar to METAL 0121.

The lid has beautiful hand-engravings and you can see the box has been hand-beaten by the marks that can be seen inside. The lid of this box features an engraved lotus design in the centre with a dotted background. Around this are concentric bands of fine lines, a plain band, and a beautiful geometric band. The petals of a flower are also etched beautifully curving around the edges of the lid.

This is the medium size in a set of three pickle boxes, see METAL 0821 and METAL 1021.
