Indian Subcontinent has a long history of designing household products- furniture, kitchen utensils, and decorative products. Out of all kitchen utensils are the most fascinating products. From the period of Indus Valley Civilization the application of alloy metal (plate 6A) are found in large numbers. The metalworks are associated with gastronomy and other household purposes. Utilization of copperware (plate 6B) is found since the Indus Valley civilization. Along with alloy metal, wood (plate 6C & 6D) is being used quite regularly used for the gastronomy purposes. Since wood, stone and clay are the most easily available material found locally, mankind has applied them for centuries. One can find that most of the traditional products are based on the simple forms.
