{"product_id":"vintage-agra-boat-shaped-marble-bowl-trade","title":"Vintage Agra Boat Shaped Marble Bowl (Trade)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA thick-walled marble bowl in soft dove gray, its rim slightly faceted where the stone was shaped by hand, with a shallow well that dips smoothly inside. The surface has weathered to a chalky, velvety finish, with a faint pink-beige blush near the base, gentle clouding and the fine grain of old tool marks. This vintage marble bowl comes from Agra, in northern India, a city long known for its stone carving. The weight and worn edges carry the marks of years of handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 11 inches long, 8 inches wide and 4 inches tall, it is small enough for a coffee table, nightstand, console or kitchen counter, and sturdy enough to hold keys, fruit, matches or a handful of dried blooms. The quiet gray reads as a neutral beside plaster, wood and linen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Agra, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Marble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\"(W) x 8\"(D) x 4\"(H)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dove gray with beige blush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wear consistent with age and use, part of its character and historical value.

It measures 11 inches long, 8 inches wide and 4 inches tall. It works as a catch-all on a coffee table, nightstand, console or counter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: What gives old Indian marble bowls their weathered look?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: Marble is a fairly soft, porous stone, so years of handling, moisture and air smooth the surface and leave a soft gray patina with faint staining. Hand-shaping also leaves subtle tool marks that never fully disappear.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eQ: How do you style a gray stone bowl on a coffee table?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA: Set it on a stack of books or a tray, and fill it with one natural material such as dried flowers, shells or wooden beads. The soft gray works with wood, linen and plain walls, so keep the rest of the tabletop simple.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e**Please bear in mind that colors of products shown may vary slightly from their original color due to monitor display settings or photography studio\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68145827414253,"sku":"IMG_0552","price":525.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0288\/5256\/files\/IMG_0552_a3717d2c-1d54-42df-ba0f-3e5204bb9ff3.jpg?v=1793654173","url":"https:\/\/de-cor.com\/products\/vintage-agra-boat-shaped-marble-bowl-trade","provider":"DE-COR | Globally Inspired","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
