The Craftsmanship Journey
- Material Selection & Shaping
The process begins with high-quality stainless steel sheets. These are precisely cut and shaped using a combination of machine pressing (for structural integrity) and manual finishing to ensure smooth edges and a perfect fit for the lid.
- Intricate Engraving (Khodna)
Artisans manually engrave or etch the delicate floral patterns onto the steel surface. This creates the “walls” or grooves that will hold the colorful enamel in place.
- Meenakari Enamelling
Using the Meenakari technique, specialized heat-resistant mineral colors (enamels) are carefully filled into the engraved designs. The box is then fired in a kiln, allowing the colors to fuse with the metal, resulting in a vibrant, glass-like finish that won’t fade over time.
- Polishing & Protective Coating
After the enameling is set, the box undergoes a multi-stage polishing process to bring out the natural shine of the steel. A final layer of transparent protective lacquer is applied to safeguard the artwork against moisture and daily wear.
