This antique brass food caddy originates from Bombay and dates to around 1920. Traditionally used for storing dry goods such as rice, flour, or biscuits, it would have once been an essential part of a household kitchen. Its solid brass body and hinged lid with clasp fastening reflect both durability and craftsmanship, while the soft golden patina has developed over decades of use.
What makes this example particularly special are the inscriptions in Hindi, delicately punched into the surface, giving the piece a direct link to its original owner and daily life in India. As with all our Indian brasswares, it bears the authentic marks and gentle wear of age, adding to its character and story. Perfect as a decorative kitchen piece or for practical storage, it pairs beautifully when displayed alongside other brass vessels.
