Parev village in Bihta block is Patna's brass village, but most of its plates, pots and bowls leave plain through traders. A finishing workshop can polish, lacquer, engrave and gift-pack them for wedding, puja and gift buyers who pay more for a finished piece.

This workshop takes plain brass utensils and turns them into finished goods. You buy thalis, lotas, bowls and puja items from local makers, buff them to a bright shine, coat them with clear lacquer so they do not darken, add engraving or names, and pack them as puja sets, wedding gift sets and drinking sets.
Brass work is one of Patna's official district products. Parev village in Bihta block is known as the district's brass village, with many small family units whose utensils go to buyers across Bihar, Jharkhand and eastern Uttar Pradesh. Most of it is sold plain through traders, and the money from finishing, packing and selling under a name is made by someone else.
You need buffing machines, a spray booth with a good exhaust fan, an engraving machine, Udyam and GST registration, and one person with an eye for design and packing. The hard parts are finish and working money. Poor lacquer peels, and buyers complain about dark patches. Brass used for sour food needs a tin lining (kalai), so label food-use pieces honestly. Many homes now use steel, so your pieces must look special enough to gift.
Sell to gift shops and wedding buyers in Patna, to temples and trusts, to companies for festival gifts, and online with good photos.
