Description

This old lassi cup from North India is made from nickel-plated brass, featuring a beautiful hand-etched floral design. Each cup is unique, reflecting the skill and artistry of the craftsman who created it. Traditionally, lassi — a cooling yoghurt-based drink — was served in cups like this, especially during festive occasions such as Holi, when it was sometimes infused with bhang (a traditional cannabis preparation).

These old lassi cups carry the charm of everyday Indian life and the patina of time. They make wonderful decorative accents, vases, or pen holders, celebrating both craftsmanship and cultural heritage.
