Silver tea set, Khotachiwadi, Mumbai

The original European colonizers of Mumbai were Portuguese, and the vast city still contains pockets of so-called Luso-Indians whose culture is a mix of east and west. This beautiful European-influenced tea set and china are in a 200-year-old family home in the neighborhood of Khotachiwadi.
