About the product

Antique Teakwood Butter Churner (Dasher) | Early-19th-Century Indian Kitchen Tool & Farmhouse Décor

Hand-Carved in India • Solid Aged Teak • Authentic Culinary Heritage

Bring the aroma of old-world Indian kitchens into your home with this original early-1800s butter churner stick—locally called a dasher. Meticulously carved from dense teak, the piece once frothed curd into creamy butter, lassi and buttermilk across rural India. Today its warm patina, visible tool marks and sculptural silhouette make it a striking accent for farmhouse, rustic or boho interiors.

What Makes This Dasher Collectible

  • Documented Early-19th-Century Origin – a genuine heirloom, not a modern replica.

  • Solid Teak Construction – pest-resistant hardwood renowned for strength and rich grain.

  • Hand-Carved Details – turned rings on the handle and scalloped paddle edges reveal artisan skill.

  • Functional Meets Decorative – still sturdy enough for light whisking, yet visually perfect for countertop displays, utensil crocks or wall galleries.

  • Culinary & Cultural Symbolism – embodies India’s heritage of self-sufficient dairy traditions and artisanal craftsmanship.
