Know before you buy
Yes, as a natural material, the brass will develop a unique patina with age and exposure to air. If you prefer to maintain the original luster, you can use a gentle brass polish periodically.
Absolutely. The brass is heat-conductive, so it works well as a saucer for tea cups, though it will warm up when in contact with a hot vessel.
Yes, the dish is safe for serving dry snacks like nuts, chocolates, or small sweets. We recommend avoiding highly acidic foods, which can react with the brass surface over time.
Hand wash the dish with mild soap and warm water, then dry it immediately with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. It is not dishwasher safe.
Because each piece is individually hand-hammered by artisans in Japan, there will be slight variations in the texture and finish. This makes every dish a unique, one-of-a-kind object.
