Kansa Contemporary Platter or Thali - Pre-Order

Pre-order: dispatched in time for Diwali on 8 November.

A hand beaten Kansa thali platter (11" diameter) that brings traditional Indian metalware into a more contemporary setting. Crafted in Kansa, or bell metal, this piece is designed to move easily between everyday dining, festive hosting and elegant serving.

Its clean, modern form makes it equally suited to serving Indian meals, appetizers, desserts, fruit or decor items, while still retaining the warmth and character of traditional Kansa craftsmanship.

Good to know

• What is Kansa? Bell metal, an alloy of copper and tin traditionally used for Indian tableware.

• How can I use it? As a pooja thali, serving platter or presentation piece for everyday meals, festive spreads and entertaining.

• Natural black residue: Handcrafted Kansa from Odisha may carry a distinctive black residue, a hallmark of the traditional making process. It is food-safe and will gradually fade with use and washing.

• Care: Hand wash with mild soap and dry straight away. Not for dishwasher or microwave. Kansa develops a natural patina; a gentle polish restores the shine.
