Handspun from pure, food-grade brass by artisans in India, these airtight jars are built to outlast the cupboard they sit in. Brass is a naturally antimicrobial copper alloy, which is why Indian kitchens have stored grains, tea and spices in it for generations.

Keep them on the counter as tea, coffee and sugar canisters, or in the pantry for spices, dry fruit and snacks. The brass darkens beautifully with use and takes a warm patina with age. A piece meant to be handed down, not thrown away.

Care Instructions

Brass is naturally antimicrobial, so a wash every few weeks is plenty. Hand wash with mild soap and a non-scratch sponge, then dry immediately with a soft cloth. For a brighter shine, use Pitambri powder mixed to a thick paste, rubbed gently in circular motions, then rinsed and dried. No dishwasher. A little patina is part of the piece.

Brass Care

Keeping your food grade brass pieces from Vaarsa London is easier than you think. Simple steps you can use:

📌Start by gently emptying the piece and hand-washing the residue.

📌Then, for the deep clean mix Pitambri powder with a little water to make a thick paste. Apply it on the brass in gentle circular motions. Let it sit for a minute then rub again, especially over tarnished spots. It’s normal if the paste darkens, that means it’s working.

📌Rinse thoroughly with water and dry completely using a soft microfibre cloth before you use it again.

And that’s it. Your brass, cleaned, cared for, and glowing like new.
