The Anatomy of Folk Artistry

Every element of this set is a canvas, meticulously detailed to evoke the bustling atmosphere of a roadside Dhaba (eatery).

• The Storyteller Kettle: The centerpiece is a stout, ivory-bodied kettle that serves as a moving mural, featuring vivid illustrations of traditional Gabru (youth) and Mutiyar (maiden) characters.

• Heritage Accents: The kettle is topped with a festive, high-gloss red lid and finished with a heat-resistant handle meticulously wrapped in textured wicker, bridging the gap between industrial design and hand-crafted charm.

• Vivid Palette: The set utilizes a signature “Sunlight & Saffron” palette, where deep yellow grounds the artwork and bold red accents provide a visual rhythm that demands attention.

• Celebratory Typography: Each of the six tumblers is adorned with stylized regional scripts and celebratory slogans, turning a simple cup of tea into a toast to life and prosperity.

• The Handleless Tumbler: In keeping with authentic tea-stall traditions, the set includes six cylindrical tumblers designed to be cupped in the hands, allowing the drinker to feel the soothing warmth of the infusion.

The “Rehri” Serving Experience

The defining characteristic of this collection is its unique presentation, which transforms a standard tray into a piece of kinetic sculpture.

• Golden Wire Cart: The set is transported on a white rectangular plinth mounted upon an intricate, four-wheeled golden wire frame.

• Iconic Inspiration: This “Rehri” or cart design is a sophisticated nod to the street-side vendors who serve as the backbone of Indian tea culture, providing a whimsical yet elegant way to move the service from kitchen to lounge.

• Architectural Stability: Despite its airy, wire-frame appearance, the cart is engineered for balance, ensuring the kettle and six tumblers remain secure during transit.
