• Domestic utensils of copper (and brass) are prone to acid poisoning from sour food kept in them. A coating of tin is given to them frequently, specially inside, to protect them from the chemical action of acid food. This craft came to India along with the Turks.
• There is no reference to this technique in Ancient India. Apart from literary sources, the archaeological evidence comes from an excavation site in the South (near Kolhapur), where a copper container, with tin coating, both on its interior and exterior, was discovered. Since this vessel was found in association with the coins of the Bahmani dynasty (A.D. 1347-1538), it must belong to that period.
• The craftsman who does tin coating is called Qalaigar.
• Abul Fazl refers to tin-coating in the Ain-i Akbari.
