The vessel features a stunning "royal blue" enamel background illuminated by elaborate gold Arabesque patterns and stylized floral vines. Known locally as Naqashi work, this technique involves painting complex designs over a metal base (likely brass or copper) and sealing it with lacquer. The result is a piece that feels more like a jewel than a bowl, showcasing the rich Persian influence that defines the artistic heritage of the Kashmir Valley.
With its rich cobalt and gold palette, this Kashmiri bowl serves as a high-impact statement centerpiece that effortlessly elevates neutral interiors. It is perfectly sized to function as a sophisticated potpourri vessel or a luxury catch-all. See less
