They are the bowls that come out for prasad during puja — one for each offering — and they double as the smallest urlis we make, holding a single flower head or a tealight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet of 5 bowls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach bowl: 4 inches inner diameter, 5.5 inches across the handles, 2.5 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 155 g each, 775 g for the set (approx. 1.7 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: solid brass, uncoated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: polished brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade in India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot dishwasher safe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFive of them.\u003c\/strong\u003e Enough to set out a full thali of offerings at once, or to scatter down a table as individual tealight holders.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e155 g each, 775 g for the set — approx. 1.7 lb.\u003c\/strong\u003e Heavy enough that they do not skid or tip when a child reaches for one.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSolid brass, uncoated,\u003c\/strong\u003e with a polished interior.

Buying in volume for an event or for return gifts — get in touch before ordering.

If you need a different quantity for return gifts, get in touch and we will see what we can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I serve prasad in them?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, that is the main use. Dry prasad, laddoo, nuts and dry fruit are all fine. Wipe them out after rather than leaving food sitting in bare brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill a tealight fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A standard tealight sits inside comfortably with the brass showing around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it solid brass or plated?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSolid brass throughout, uncoated. No plating to wear through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it darken over time?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, and that is normal for uncoated brass. Some people polish it back every few months, others prefer the deeper tone it settles into. Either is fine — nothing is wrong with the piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I clean it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth. Brass darkens naturally with air and handling; if you want it bright again, any household brass polish will lift it in a few minutes. Do not put it in the dishwasher and do not leave water standing in it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo they stack?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot neatly — the handles stop them nesting flush.
