Usage & Historical Context
The brass checks glass gets its name from the engraved checkered pattern adorning its exterior—a design detail often seen in vintage South Indian and Rajasthani utensils. Traditionally used for serving water or herbal drinks during rituals or meals, these glasses balanced function with ornamentation, making them both utilitarian and decorative.

Benefits
The textured check design offers better grip and visual appeal. Crafted from pure brass, it naturally cools liquids and aligns with Ayurvedic wellness practices. Ideal for festive serving or daily hydration, it adds cultural depth to your table. Easy to clean and maintain, this glass is both practical and heirloom-worthy.

Brass products naturally oxidize and develop patina over time. With proper care, they retain their beauty and functionality for generations.

Daily Use Care
Wipe dry after use: After contact with water or food, gently dry with a soft cloth to avoid stains or spots.

Keep away from harsh chemicals: Avoid dishwashers, bleach, or abrasive soaps.

Use dry materials: If using for dry snacks, pooja samagri, or spices, ensure the brass is moisture-free.

Weekly or Occasional Cleaning
1. Natural Cleaning (Homemade Polish)
Lemon & Salt: Cut a lemon, sprinkle salt, rub gently, rinse and dry. Removes tarnish and revives shine.

Tamarind or Vinegar: Soak for a few minutes, rinse thoroughly and wipe dry.

Besan & Curd: A traditional method—mix gram flour and curd, apply as a scrub, then rinse off.

2. Pitambari Powder (Recommended for Brass)
Apply a small amount of Pitambari powder with a damp cloth or sponge.

Rub gently in circular motions to clean and restore luster.

Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely.

Use gloves if you have sensitive skin.

Note: Pitambari is specifically designed for brass, copper, and bronze – safe, effective, and quick.

Tin-Lined Brass Care (e.g., Sipri, Handi, Kadhai)
Wash gently with mild soap and soft sponge—avoid lemon or salt on inner tin lining.

Re-tin (kalai) every 6–12 months if the lining wears out for safe food use.

Avoid acidic ingredients like tomato or tamarind if the lining is worn.

Storage Tips
Store in a dry place to prevent tarnish.

Wrap items in soft cloth or muslin if not used regularly.

For pooja brassware, store separately from kitchenware.
