Freeform Brass, Shaped by River-Stone Rhythm
Forged in Peetal Nagri (Brass City) — this platter carries the weight of tradition and the soul of modern minimalism. Artisans shape molten brass (fused with stainless steel for enduring strength) using centuries-old techniques: hand-poured into organic molds, scraped for smoothness, and finished with a muted matte-gold patina.
Its intentionally irregular edges echo river stones or weathered leaves, rejecting machine-like uniformity. The substantial weight (1.4 kg) feels grounding, while the 31 cm diameter accommodates abundance without crowding. Over time, the surface darkens into a living patina, etching shared meals into its metal memory.
Designed as a stage for vibrant rituals: stack rosewater-scented desserts, arrange figs and persimmons, or let guests serve themselves from communal curries.
