Vintage Brass Pickle Box
$45.00
Dimensions: 5cm diameter, 3.5cm high.
Code: METAL 1021
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 been hand-engraved and you can see the box has been hand-beaten by the marks that can be seen inside. The lid of this box, although a little worn with time, 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 geometric band.
This is the smallest size in a set of three pickle boxes, see METAL 0821 and METAL 0921.
