{"product_id":"rare-patinated-bronze-urli-from-southern-india","title":"Rare Patinated Bronze Urli From Southern India","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 21.5-inch Urli is a remarkable found artifact, hand-cast by master metalsmiths in Kerala using the heritage lost-wax technique. While many vintage vessels are lost to time, this piece has survived with its structural integrity and high-gauge bronze walls perfectly intact. At 24lbs, it strikes a rare balance between the monumental presence of heavier temple bowls and the functional portability required for a modern residence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Details: The vessel displays a captivating, multi-layered patina that serves as a visual record of its age. Its exterior is a deep, weathered bronze, while the interior reveals a warmer, golden-hued bronze that has been softened by decades of use. The hand-finished tiered rim shows subtle, authentic irregularities in the casting—a hallmark of true artisanal provenance that differentiates it from contemporary mass-produced replicas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStyling It: At 21.5 inches wide and 6 inches deep, this petite yet powerful bowl is the perfect functional accent for smaller surfaces. It makes a commanding, organic catch-all on an entryway console for keys and jewelry, or a sculptural anchor for a low coffee table. Because of its distinctive weathered interior, it also adds a lovely layer of metallic texture when used as a unique statement planter for succulents and air plants, providing a heavy metallic contrast to soft, green foliage. Its water-tight construction also allows it to be used as a tranquil water feature, where floating blossoms can contrast beautifully against the dark, historic bronze, bringing a sense of \"Modern Primitive\" soul to a Spanish Colonial or Japandi living space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul1\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Era: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAntique \/ Vintage (Mid-20th Century)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Size: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e21.5“(L) x 6“(H \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Weight: 24\u003cspan\u003e lb\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eHand-Cast High-Gauge Bronze\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Color: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWeathered Dark Bronze \/ Warm Metallic Interior\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Origin: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSouthern India (Kerala)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li2\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e*Condition: Excellent Antique Condition.
