🤎 A statement piece you’ll actually use.

This solid-brass round box has the satisfying weight and glow collectors love, and it’s covered in hand-engraved, color-filled geometric motifs—tiny diamonds, cross-stitches, and linear hatches dancing around the form.

The domed lid echoes the pattern and is topped with a simple brass lid.

It looks luxe on a shelf, but it’s wonderfully practical for jewelry, keepsakes, keys, tea sachets—whatever needs a beautiful landing spot.

📐 About 6¼ in diameter × 4 in tall (≈ 15.9 cm × 10.2 cm).
Weight: approx 811 g.

🤎 The surface has been engraved (you can feel the cuts) and then filled with colored enamel in reds, berry-pink, light teal, black, and white tones before polishing—an Indian enameling approach often described as meenakari: patterns are incised and packed with vitreous color that’s fired and finished to a gloss.

📜 Northern India—especially Moradabad in Uttar Pradesh, nicknamed Peetal Nagri (“brass city”)—has been a hub for engraved and enameled brass since the 19th century, supplying both local and export markets. Workshops there produced boxes and bowls like this through the mid- to late-20th century, combining machine-spun bodies with hand-engraving and enamel infill. If you’ve heard “Benares ware” used for Indian brass, that’s a historic trade name tied to North Indian centers that popularized carved and enameled brass for export.


✔️ Condition
Very good vintage shape overall: Expect normal age patina inside and out (darker toning, scattered spots and micro-scratches) that give antique brass its depth and character. Lid seats nicely. Normal wear on enamel.

💡 Set it on a console as an entry catch-all;
💡 perch it on a stack of books in the living room;
💡 corral tea bags or wrapped treats on a tray;
💡 or use it as a jewel box on a vanity.

❤️ The low, meditation-bowl profile even gives a soft ring if you tap it—soothing, even though it’s a lidded box rather than a singing bowl.

• Material: solid brass with engraved and enamel-filled decoration (meenakari technique).

Gift-ready and endlessly useful—perfect for boho, eclectic, mid-century and global-inspired interiors.
