A 17th Century Indian Incised Pottery Vase

17th century
Description

The rare and very tactile vase is Indian and dates to the 17th century. It is boldly decorated with deeply hand incised ornate panels which form a ring of decoration around the upper body which is infilled with floral motifs and boarders. The pottery is not glazed but it has built up a most unusual patination to its surfaces which could indicate that it may have spent some time buried and later unearthed. This piece is in good condition but does have some very small losses around the rim and a firing flaw to the underside of the body which is in keeping with the great age of this piece.

Dealers Notes

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.

You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.

All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.

Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.
Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.
Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

Hand-crafted earthenware has been produced across the Indian subcontinent for millennia, utilised for both daily utilitarian storage and ceremonial functions. During the seventeenth century, regional artisans created vessels with carved and incised surface decoration, reflecting localized geometric, floral, and architectural motifs.

These pots were formed from local clay on a kick-wheel or built by hand using coiling methods. Before firing in low-temperature kilns, artisans carved or stamped relief patterns directly into the leather-hard clay, leaving an unglazed or burnished textured exterior.

Authentic pieces display signs of hand construction, including minor asymmetrical proportions and hand-carved tool marks. Surfaces often exhibit natural mineral weathering, earthy patination, and subtle variations in ceramic density resulting from traditional wood-fired kilns.

Textured ceramic vessels add grounding organic contrast to modern spaces. Position the piece individually on a sideboard top, open bookshelf, or mantelpiece alongside contrasting materials such as polished wood, glass, or brass.

Dust the surface lightly using a soft, dry microfibre cloth or natural bristle brush. Avoid using water, liquid cleaners, or chemical detergents, as porous ceramic absorbs moisture which can damage the delicate historical patina.
