This petite vessel captures the romance of the Kashmir Valley in a compact form. Distinguished by its delicate scalloped rim (resembling an open flower), this hand-painted bowl features a rich crimson enamel background adorned with intricate gold rosettes and vine work. The craftsmanship is typical of the Naqashi tradition, where fine lacquer work is applied over a metal base to create a surface that gleams like porcelain but has the weight and durability of brass. The contrast between the vibrant red body and the black footed base adds a sophisticated graphic quality to this jewel-like object. This scalloped bowl is the ultimate "jewel" for intimate spaces within the home. Its shallow 2.5-inch height and open, flower-like shape make it the perfect bedside ring dish for keeping daily jewelry safe and accessible. In a dining setting, it serves beautifully as a luxury salt cellar.
