Description :

A beautifully crafted vintage brass tiffin carrier featuring a classic 3-tier stackable design with intricate hand-etched patterns. This piece includes its original long-handled spoon and fork, which attach neatly to the sides—both functional and visually striking.

With its warm aged patina and detailed engraving, this tiffin carrier reflects traditional Asian craftsmanship. The secure lid with a sturdy handle makes it practical for use, while the elegant form makes it equally perfect as a decorative display piece.

Often referred to as a bento-style lunch box, this tiered container was traditionally used for carrying meals and is now highly sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts.
