{"product_id":"matte-brass-dabara-set","title":"Matte Brass Dabara Set | Handcrafted Brass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Matte Brass Dabara Set from Cosmic Studio is a handcrafted brass tumbler and katori (dabara) set measuring 2.75 inches in height and 4 inches in diameter, weighing 150 grams, and finished in a warm, understated matte tone. The set is made using traditional brass-working methods, where each piece is individually shaped and smoothed by hand, resulting in the clean cylindrical forms and wide-rimmed profiles visible in the piece itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dabara set follows a form that has been in continuous use across South Indian households for generations. The tumbler sits upright with a slightly flared rim, while the katori offers a wide, shallow base — a shape deliberately designed for the ritual of cooling and aerating filter coffee by pouring between the two vessels. This process, repeated with precision by hand, is as much a part of the South Indian coffee experience as the brew itself. The craftsmanship here is restrained and functional, which is its own form of discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn South Indian tradition, filter coffee served in brass carries a cultural weight beyond the beverage. Brass vessels are believed to carry mild antimicrobial properties and are considered auspicious for daily use, particularly in rituals of hospitality and morning practice. Serving coffee in brass is a gesture of care rooted in long domestic tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass, an alloy of copper and zinc, has been the material of choice for Indian utilitarian and devotional objects for centuries. It is dense, durable, and develops a deeper warmth in tone with regular use. This set is made from food-safe brass, appropriate for daily contact with hot beverages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe matte finish gives the surface a soft, non-reflective quality — closer to aged brass than polished — which reads as genuinely traditional rather than decorative. As with all handcrafted pieces from Cosmic Studio, natural variation in surface texture and tone between the tumbler and katori is expected and is a mark of the hand that made it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is suited for daily use, gifting to someone who values authentic South Indian kitchen culture, or display as a functional piece of material heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Cosmic Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43635135184931,"sku":null,"price":980.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0448\/0547\/files\/C64A8205-scaled.jpg?v=1786241134","url":"https:\/\/cosmicstudio.in\/products\/matte-brass-dabara-set","provider":"Cosmic Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
