How it is made
Northern India
There is no mechanism and nothing to loosen. It is one piece of brass, unreasonably heavy for what it does, and it stays on the bar where you left it instead of migrating into a drawer.
It is heavy for what it is. That is the point: it stays on the bar where you left it instead of migrating into a drawer.
River sand fine enough to hold an edge is packed around a pattern, then the flask is split and the pattern withdrawn.
Brass is brought to a little over a thousand degrees and poured in one continuous movement. Hesitation shows in the finished surface.
The mould is destroyed to release a single casting. Each one is made from sand that has never held this shape before.
Only what must be worked is worked. The cast surface keeps the grain of the sand it was formed against.
Sand-cast in one piece. The catch is filed and honed by hand.
A four-century brass-casting tradition, recognised with a Geographical Indication for the fine river sand its moulds are packed from.
