Their gently tapered forms retain a richly timeworn surface, ranging from warm aged brass to cooler silvered tones.

Traditionally associated with serving lassi, these vessels translate beautifully as small decorative vases. Because each was worked by hand, the engraved patterns and patination differ subtly from one cup to the other, giving the pair an appealing collected quality rather than strict uniformity.

Display them with clipped garden flowers on a library table, separate them between bookshelves, or incorporate them into a layered arrangement of brass, porcelain, and antique objects.

Dimensions: 3.75ʺ W × 3.75ʺ D × 7ʺ H each
Materials: Hand-etched brass
Condition: Good antique condition with surface wear, oxidation, discoloration, and varied patination consistent with age and use. The differences between the two vessels are part of their handmade character. See less
