Indians cracked spice storage generations ago.

The masala dabba is not a novelty kitchen item. It is a system. Seven spices, one lid, no fumbling through a cupboard of mismatched jars. Every Indian kitchen has one. Every cook who has used one wonders how they ever lived without it. This does not belong in a culture aisle. It belongs next to your hob.

Hand-etched from solid brass in Moradabad, it only gets better with use, and gets passed down when you are done with it.

What's included

One brass spice box, seven removable brass bowls, one hand-etched outer lid, one brass spoon, and a Pitambari powder sample for cleaning.

Size & Material

21.5 cm diameter × 5 cm height · Solid brass with hand-etched lid · Handcrafted in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh

Care Instructions

Hand wash with mild soap and dry immediately to avoid water spots. Do not use a dishwasher or abrasive materials. Over time, the brass may develop a vintage patina, but a simple brass cleaner will restore its shine if desired.

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.
