Brass Storage Dabba - Traditional Hammered Kitchen Food Storage Container for Daily Use
The Brass Storage Dabba is a traditional kitchen food storage container made for everyday Indian homes. Each piece is hand-hammered and finished with a food-safe tin coating inside, making it suitable for storing snacks, kheer, nuts, leftovers, or packing a home-style tiffin.
Designed for daily use, these containers also work well as thoughtful, long-lasting gifts.
Product Highlights
- Hand-hammered brass construction - Each dabba is shaped and hammered by hand, giving it strength, character, and a slightly unique finish that machine-made containers lack.

- Suitable for daily storage and tiffin use - Ideal for snacks, dry foods, sweets, kheer, nuts, or packed meals. You can also combine different sizes to create your own lunch box set.
- Traditional material with functional benefits - Brass, with zinc as part of the alloy, is known for its anti-oxidant properties that help preserve stored food when used correctly.
