About Brassware
Haryana, Tamil Nadu and Assam are the major centres of Brass work in India. In Haryana traditional kitchen utensils made by die-pressing and manually cold forging sheet brass, are part of every bride’s dowry. In this area where water must be fetched over long distances, pots used to collect and store water are an invaluable commodity. In Rewari, circular brass ingots are sand-cast by specialized craftsmen and sent to small industries for sheet rolling. Craftsmen at a second workshop manually shear them into rounds and die-press the sheets into hemispheres. At a third workshop the hemispheres are manually worked with huge mallets over swages till the desired shape is achieved. The joints and the neck are gas welded and the mouth is beaded. The products are vigorously hand polished with mud and tamarind and sandpapered. Finally, the walls are manually beaten with polished hammerheads to reinforce the sheet metal. The perfectly aligned symmetry of the created shiny indentations is testament to the craftsmen’s long practice at hammering them freehand - rapidly and with a single precise blow each.
The craftsmen in Madurai are involved in producing brass ware for temple rituals as well as for domestic use. As the temple rituals became more elaborate, the requirement for specifically designed vessels increased. For instance the abhishekam, consecration ritual, requires water to drip constantly on the lingam, the abstract form that represents Lord Shiva. This is achieved by hanging the sahasarasala thattu, a plate with 1008 perforations that shower water poured from a conch on to the deity. The others like the ritual bath, and puja, worship in the morning, noon, evening and night all required different sizes and shapes of vessels, some of which were intricately carved. These traditions are still followed and hence the craft has been preserved over the generations. The making of these vessels consist of cutting the brass metal sheet, which are then beaten, shaped and bent individually. They are then joined together with a mixture of pithala podi, the fine white brass powder obtained when utensils are being turned on a lathe and polished.
Sarai, a brass tray (sometimes made in bell metal) with a stem and a domed lid is found in every Assamese household. It is used during marriage ceremonies, given as sign of felicitation, used to hold ritual offerings or the holy book and greet guests with tambul, betel nut and leaves. There are several types of sarai; plain, with embossing, ornate, and with cutwork on the lid depicting the ten incarnations of Vishnu. A sarai is made in several parts and assembled by brazing, and shaped by forging or by pressing the sheet over a mould. Bamboo charcoal is used to heat the sheet metal and the various parts are smoothened by beating, assembled, brazed, filed and polished on a lathe. Embossing and cutwork follows. The sarai is sold not by weight but by the size of its diameter and is also sold without the lid.
