Vintage Brass Surai

A brass surai, also known as a surahi or a lota, is a traditional vessel or container originating from the Indian subcontinent. It is typically made of brass, though it can also be crafted from other metals such as copper or bronze. The surai has a distinctive shape, featuring a bulbous body with a narrow neck and a small spout.

The design of a brass surai often reflects the traditional aesthetics of Indian craftsmanship. It usually has decorative elements such as engraved patterns, floral motifs, or geometric designs adorning its surface.

Surais are primarily used for storing and pouring water. The narrow neck and spout facilitate controlled pouring, making them ideal for various household tasks such as watering plants, washing hands, or serving water for drinking.
