Brass Pot Shaped Storage Ghee Thooku

Brass Pot Shaped Storage Ghee Thooku - Traditional storage, shaped for daily use

The Brass Pot Shaped Storage Ghee Thooku is a traditional kitchen storage container inspired by an authentic vessel used in Indian homes for generations. This design is a careful revival of a 100-year-old brass container, traditionally used to store ghee and cooking oils.

It follows the old pot-over-pot form, where vessels were once hung one above the other using rope saddles in kitchens.

Made using time-tested methods by skilled brass artisans of Gujarat, this container brings together practical storage, cultural memory, and everyday usability for modern homes.

Product Highlights

Traditional Pot-over-Pot Shape - The form reflects an old kitchen practice where ghee and curd pots were stacked vertically and suspended. This shape is both functional and visually rooted in tradition.

Made for Ghee and Oil Storage - Designed specifically to store ghee and edible oils safely. The container supports daily use while keeping contents protected from light and air exposure.

Crafted in Pure Brass - Brass naturally contains zinc, which is known for its antioxidant properties. This makes it a preferred material for traditional food storage over generations.

Coupling and Beating Construction - The top and bottom parts are joined using coupling and hand-beating instead of welding. This old technique improves durability and stays true to original craft methods.

Handcrafted by Gujarat Artisans - Made by a community that has practiced brass craftsmanship for over 1,000 years. Each piece reflects steady handwork rather than factory finishing.
