This elegant brass vessel stands apart with its classic hourglass silhouette, featuring a distinct neck and a widely flared rim detailed with a rope-twist border. Sourced from Northern India, the entire body is covered in fine, hand-engraved floral arabesques, a technique known as "Marori" work. While the original colored lacquer has likely worn away over decades, it has left behind a rich, darkened patina in the recesses that highlights the golden relief of the vines. Standing 6 inches tall, it is a perfect example of mid-century Mughal-revival metalware, designed to bring artistry to small, everyday spaces.
This antique brass vase is an exceptional choice for those seeking to add vintage character to narrow spaces. Its slender 4-inch footprint allows it to sit comfortably on a window sill, floating shelf, or a crowded mantelpiece without taking up valuable real estate. As a functional bud vase, the flared rim supports delicate stems beautifully.
