Pair of Indo-Persian Brass Vases — Hand-Etched & Inlaid, c.1940–1960

A charming pair of mid-20th century Indo-Persian brass vases, finely hand-etched with Persian-inspired floral and foliate motifs. Each vase has an elegant flaring trumpet neck above a rounded midsection and stepped base, with traces of their original red and black enamel inlay still glowing softly through the aged patina.

These vases carry a timeless romance, evoking the rich brasswork traditions of Kashmir and Northern India, where skilled artisans created such pieces for both local homes and export. Their warm, time-softened metal and intricate detailing make them perfect for styling as single-stem bud vases, grouped on a mantlepiece, or displayed as decorative objects in their own right.
