Late 19th – early 20th century, Kashmir, India
Elegant and richly ornamented copper betel serving bowl of circular form, resting on three short pedestal feet. The body is exquisitely decorated in high repoussé relief with a continuous band of floral and foliate scrolls, masterfully executed in the refined Kashmiri metalworking tradition. The surface exhibits a superb aged patina, with the raised motifs subtly polished from handling, while the recessed areas retain a dark, time-worn tarnish, creating a striking visual contrast.
The interior bears encrusted residues of lime and areca nut, attesting to its authentic use in the betel-chewing ritual — a deeply rooted social custom across South Asia. This fine vessel exemplifies the beauty, craftsmanship, and enduring cultural significance of Kashmiri repoussé metalwork.
Good condition. Wear commensurate with age and use, with dents and abrasion. Size approx. 24,2cm x 24,6cm x 6,5cm.
Provenance: Finnish private collection
