A truly exceptional late 19th early 20th century Indian vase hand turned in white marble. The vase is of bulbous shape, standing on a small stepped foot and finished at the top with a shaped, narrow neck and a pleasing flared rim.
Not only has this white marble vase been beautifully turned on its exterior, but remarkably, it has been brilliantly hollowed internally to give a consistent thin wall thickness of approximately 5mm throughout. (Very difficult to achieve with this fragile stone).
The vase has exquisite decoration, the finest we have ever offered for sale.
It has been profusely inlaid in foliate designs in semi precisious stones.
Around the body of the vase are four circular panels with floral foliate displays with beautifully detailed flowers and leaves worked into each circular panel.
Above there is a garland of flowers with buds and leafy stems. And to finish this magnificent vase, the rim is also inlaid with a garland of brightly coloured, linked flower head
...s.
The cut inlay is accurate work which has been done with great skill.
The artist has used beautifully coloured semi-precious stones such as lapis, turquoise, malachite, agate and also mother of pearl.
A truly incredible Indian Raj period work of art, circa 1910.
The vase is in excellent original condition with no damage or repair.
