A beautifully preserved vintage Indian lithographed tin box by Nutrine Confectionery Co. (P) Ltd., Chittoor, Andhra Pradesh, featuring a richly coloured devotional image of Goddess Lakshmi on the lid.
Lakshmi is depicted standing gracefully upon a large pink lotus, holding lotus flowers in her upper hands, surrounded by a serene waterside landscape with an elephant, swan, flowering trees and lotus-filled water. The vivid devotional artwork gives the box a striking visual presence and reflects the distinctive style of vintage Indian commercial packaging, where mythology, spirituality and advertising art were often brought together.
The dark-toned body is finished with a repeating cream floral border, while the original Nutrine branding remains visible along the sides. The lid retains the printed identification “Lakshmi”, and the original wording “Permitted Colours Only Used” can also be seen, adding further period character and collectibility.

Brass is actually an alloy, not a pure metal. It’s a combination of copper and zinc, and the proportions of these metals determine the colour and properties of the brass. Known for its durability and resistance to corrosion, brass has been used for centuries in everything from musical instruments to household items. Using brass utensils can impart a subtle metallic taste to food, enhancing its flavour profile.
