Serve gahwa from a pot that starts the conversation. This hand-painted blue brass dallah from the Dastkaari Lotus Series pairs the classic long-spouted Arabic coffee pot silhouette with a symmetrical lotus design inspired by Mughal art, reimagined with a modern twist.

The Blue Lotus design

Every lotus is painted freehand, with no stencils and no prints. Eight to ten layers of base paint go on before the first flower is touched, which is what gives the blue its depth. The lotus has long symbolized purity and renewal in South Asian art, so this pot carries meaning as well as color.

Ways to use your blue dallah

• Serve cardamom-spiced Arabic coffee (gahwa) into small handleless cups
• Pour herbal tea or mint tea at the table
• Make it the centerpiece of a dining table, buffet or open shelf
• Give it as a housewarming, wedding, Eid or holiday gift

A gift with meaning

Offering coffee from a dallah is a gesture of welcome across the Gulf. A hand-painted brass dallah carries that tradition into a home, and it arrives as a gift people keep on display for years.
