This antique brass food caddy from northern India dates to around the 1950s and would once have been used for storing staples such as rice, flour, or biscuits. Their tall cylindrical shape and solid brass construction reflect the enduring practicality of traditional Indian kitchenware, while the warm golden patina tells the story of long domestic use.

What sets these examples apart are their long looped handles, designed to make them easier to carry or suspend. The simple lift-off lids, each fitted with a ring pull, add to their functional charm. With their understated form and timeworn character, they embody the essence of Indian domestic brassware - objects created for everyday utility that now carry a decorative presence. Perfect for display in a kitchen, they can be used as storage vessels or purely as statement pieces.
