STUNNING HISTORIC CEREMONIAL BOWL. TRADITIONALLY USED IN ASIAN WEDDINGS, ALSO FOR MEDICINAL USES. THE INTRICATE DETAIL OF THE ETCHINGS AND MOTIFS COULD ONLY HAVE COME FROM THIS PERIOD. THEY ARE VERY CHARACTERISTIC OF THE LATE 18TH CENTURY/ EARLY 19TH CENTURY. THE BOWL SHOWS HEAPS OF PATINA AND HAS NOT BEEN CLEANED IN MY LIFETIME, SO ALL ITS CHARACTER AND ORIGINAL HISTORY REMAINS. ANTIQUE CASTING CHIP (POSSIBLY) ON TOP OUTSIDE RIM. NOTHING COULD DETRACT FROM THIS ALL ORIGINAL UN-RENOVATED HISTORICAL CEREMONIAL BOWL.HEIGHT IS 5" AND DIAMETER IS 9 3/4".
PLEASE STUDY PICTURES FOR COMPREHENSIVE CONDITION REPORT.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING, ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE ASK.
