Selling childrens books in Cuttack
Cuttack is an old commercial and craft city known for its silver filigree work, a tradition that has run for centuries. Fine metalwork and traditional jewellery appear here in a way they do not elsewhere in the region.
The craft trade keeps silver and metalwork circulating locally. The city sits between rivers and the monsoon is heavy, so how something was stored is a fair and necessary question.
The old commercial areas are dense and congested and best reached on foot or by two-wheeler. The newer parts of the city drive easily enough.
On silver filigree, check the solder joints and the fine wire in daylight. Repairs are common on older pieces and are much easier to see in person than in a photograph.
Cuttack, in Odisha, has around 660,000 people, which means a steady local market where the usual things move reliably and the unusual ones are worth listing with a wider radius in mind. Bhubaneswar, Rourkela and Brahmapur are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
