What is Brassware?

Brassware is crafted primarily from brass scrap (copper & zinc) and involves traditional metal casting and handcrafting techniques. Skilled artisans in India produce handmade brass handicrafts, decorative brass items, sculptures, utility products, lamps, and ethnic home decor pieces. These products are renowned worldwide for their quality, eco-friendly production, and cultural heritage.

Brass handicraft work, especially using the lost wax metal casting technique, is practiced in various parts of India, with Bastar (Chhattisgarh), Murshidabad (West Bengal), Dhenkanal (Odisha), and Jharkhand being famous for this age-old tradition. Among them, Bastar brass craft holds a special GI Tag and is over 4,000 years old, originating from the ancient traditions of the Indus Valley Civilization.

Brassware items have strong demand in Europe, USA, Japan, Australia, Middle East, and other international markets.

Step-by-Step Brass Casting Process (Lost Wax Method)

The entire process of Dhokra art involves manual labor by skilled tribal artisans — from wax modeling to metal casting. It follows no industrial shortcuts, proving that Dhokra is a genuine handicraft, not an industrial craft.

1. Wax Modeling: Artisans create detailed wax figures using beeswax or natural wax.

2. Molding: Multiple clay layers are applied on the wax model to form a mold.

3. Dewaxing: The mold is heated to melt and drain out the wax, leaving a hollow cavity.

4. Casting: Molten brass is poured into the cavity (temperature: 950°C–1050°C).

5. Breaking the Mold: Once cooled, the outer clay is broken to reveal the brass sculpture.

6. Finishing: Polishing, grinding, antique coating, and final touch-ups are done.

Common Mistakes in Casting & How to Avoid Them

• Air Bubbles or Moisture in the mold can create cavities. Solution: Proper mold drying and vent holes.

• Uneven Wax Thickness leads to weak joints. Solution: Standardize pattern thickness.

• Improper Pouring Temperature can affect metal flow. Maintain between 950°C–1050°C.

• Shrinkage in Casting: On average, brass casting shrinkage is 2–4%. Prevent this by allowing proper cooling time, using quality molds, and maintaining metal purity.

How to Clean Brass Handicrafts

• Use a soft cloth for regular dusting.

• For shine, apply a small amount of coconut oil or brass polish.

• Avoid harsh chemicals and water soaking.
