Vintage Indian Hand-Etched Black & Gold Brass Vases - Pair

Beautiful matching pair of vintage Indian brass vases. Featuring intricate hand-engraved floral, leaf, and geometric motifs, these striking pieces showcase classic Indian metalwork craftsmanship. The rich black background beautifully contrasts with the polished gold/brass raised designs, creating an elegant, dramatic look perfect for boho, eclectic, global, or modern interiors. Details: • Design: Tapered conical shape with distinctive curved, open trumpet-style tops. Beautiful horizontal banded sections with rope and braided detailing. • Technique: Hand-etched and engraved brass with black lacquer/enamel finish and gold accents. • Origin: India (likely Moradabad brassware region), mid-to-late 20th century. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition. No dents, cracks, or major damage. The engraving remains sharp and detailed, with only light, natural wear consistent with age (minor surface patina in places, which adds to the authentic charm). • Markings: Original Indian dealer labels on the bases (M.A. 0036 Rs.115 and M.A.0117 Rs.275). These vases make a perfect matched set — one taller statement piece and one smaller companion. They work wonderfully as standalone sculptural objects, for displaying dried florals, pampas grass, or simply as eye-catching decor on a mantel, console table, bookshelf, or entryway. Measurements • Tall vase: Approximately 12 inches high • Short vase: Approximately 8 inches high (Both have a solid, weighted feel with flat bases.) Perfect for collectors of Indian handicrafts, vintage brass, or anyone looking to add warmth and artisanal character to their home. These are decorative pieces — not intended for holding water long-term.
