This petite cylindrical box is defined by its textured surface, featuring vertical columns of hand-hammered stylized motifs. Crafted from copper and originally coated in tin (Kalai), the finish has worn down to create a lovely two-tone patina of silver and warm bronze. In a traditional Indian household, a small, tight-lidded vessel like this would have safeguarded precious items—perhaps saffron strands, medicinal herbs, or gold jewelry. Its robust construction and snug lid kept contents safe from moisture and air.
This petite antique canister is a powerhouse of functional vintage decor, ideal for organizing the small, loose items that clutter modern surfaces. On a bedside table, it serves as a secure jewelry box for rings and earrings, protecting them from dust.
