Product description
An atmospheric pair of Indian lidded pots made of bronze or copper alloy, characterized by a powerful spherical shape, domed lids, and lotus bud-like finials. The dark, uneven patina gives both objects a distinct Wabi-Sabi character and makes the set particularly attractive within a Japandi, minimalist, or eclectic interior. The pots are handcrafted and clearly form a pair, while small individual differences emphasize their artisanal nature. Matte and glossy areas, natural oxidation, signs of use, and subtle irregularities lend each vessel its own unique appearance. Beautiful as sculptural objects on a console, low table, or pedestal, placed both together and separately. **Origin and Dating** Probably India, first half to mid-20th century, circa 1920–1960. The form and execution are consistent with traditional Indian decorative and ceremonial metalwork. The exact original function has not been definitively established; such lidded vessels could have been used decoratively, ceremonially, or as storage or offering vessels. **Material and Technique** Bronze or a related copper alloy, manually formed and finished. The surfaces show a deep dark brown to almost black patina with localized warmer metal tones, wear, and oxidation. The domed lids are fitted with lotus bud-like finials. The undersides have later been finished with protective felt. **Dimensions and Weight** Pot A: height 33 cm × width 26 cm Pot B: height 32.5 cm × width 25.5 cm Weight: approximately 4 kg, as specified for the set The price is for the complete set of two. **Condition** Good vintage condition, consistent with age and use. Both pots show uneven patina, oxidation, rubbing, small surface irregularities, and signs of use. The handmade lids do not fit perfectly tightly everywhere. The felt protection on the underside is a later addition. These characteristics contribute to the authentic Wabi-Sabi aesthetic. Please examine the photos carefully as an integral part of the condition description. **Style and Placement** An understated and sculptural pair with a timeless appearance. Particularly suitable for interiors in Wabi-Sabi, Japandi, Brutalist, minimalist, or organic-modern styles. The understated silhouettes and rich patina combine beautifully with natural stone, wood, linen, and other earthy materials. **Specifications** Object: set of two lidded pots Origin: likely India Dating: circa 1920–1960 Period: first half to mid-20th century Material: bronze / copper alloy Technique: handmade and manually finished Style: Wabi-Sabi, Japandi, minimalist antique Color: dark brown to black with warm coppery nuances SKU: 733 Due to their handmade nature, age, and natural patina, variations, wear, and irregularities are part of the beauty and authenticity of this set.
