This 24-inch Urli is a remarkable specimen of traditional South Indian metalwork, hand-cast using ancient lost-wax techniques. At 36lbs, the density of this bronze vessel indicates its original purpose as a high-capacity tool for Ayurvedic preparations or communal cooking. The tiered, architectural rim is not only decorative but serves to reinforce the vessel's structure, allowing it to withstand decades of use. This vessel features a sophisticated, weathered patina that balances deep umber tones with warm golden-brass highlights. The exterior is characterized by smooth, clean lines and a substantial, flat-bottomed profile that ensures absolute stability. Its heavy-gauge construction makes it an exceptionally durable piece of functional art.
The monumental scale and weight of this Urli offer several sophisticated design possibilities, use it as an architectural vessel sink in your powder room or as a statement planter with a cluster of succulents
