Ceramic, fibre, glass and porcelain - there’s plenty different tableware we’ve all dined in. But remember those white enamel ones your grandparents probably had a stock of? Locally called tamchini, (the Hindi term for enamelware that was popular in the olden times), you will find a few shops in Burra Bazaar that still sell these. Made out of iron or tin, the crockery comes covered in white enamel and coloured borders to protect it from corrosion and heat. From paisley to floral-pattern bands, these come in different colours and sizes. But best of all, they are all priced as reasonably as INR 40 onwards
