This 19th-century Kashmiri vessel is a decorative piece made from gesso over pine with lacquer work in terracotta brown and gold. The object stands 25.4 cm high, 11.4 cm wide, and 11.4 cm deep, displaying an elongated neck, a bulbous base, and a domed stopper, alongside a faded, snuffed surface with missing painted detail, natural wear and aging from obvious use, and intricate painted flowers and geometric shapes. One places the item on a mantelpiece to add colour and texture to a living room, study, or hallway interior. Hand-painted floral patterns wrap around the bulbous base and narrow neck, complemented by detailed borders, turned mouldings, and a pointed finial at the top. The structure remains firm and secure despite the historical surface loss, making it a characterful display accent for collectors of Indian artifacts. The earthy terracotta tones blend easily with traditional or eclectic interior schemes, positioned prominently on a flat surface to draw the eye.

FAQs

Kashmiri vessels, frequently created in the form of surahis or flasks, originate from northern India and are recognised for elaborate hand-painted lacquer or papier-mache finishes featuring intricate floral patterns known as naqashi.

These items were typically constructed with a base of papier-mache, turned wood, or light metal, which was smoothed, primed, and meticulously painted using natural pigments before being sealed with translucent lacquer.

Authentic 19th-century Kashmiri lacquerware exhibits fine, multi-layered hand painting with dense floral motifs, subtle surface craquelure, and natural age-related wear around the base, neck, and stopper.

Position the tall vessel on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or open shelving as a standalone sculptural accent, pairing it alongside neutral tones to highlight its rich polychrome pattern.

Dust gently using a dry, soft microfibre cloth, keeping the object away from direct sunlight, moisture, and high humidity to prevent cracking or peeling of the delicate painted surface.
