Red and Purple Brass Fruit Bowl

Provenance

Brass has long been a workhorse in Indian homes. Strong enough for daily use, yet endlessly pliable in the hands of a skilled artisan. This fruit bowl takes that foundation and dresses it in riotous colour: deep red and purple, layered over hand-worked brass. 

The ornate detailing tells its own story, of patterns passed down, refined and reimagined. The pigments punch hard against the gold-toned brass, creating contrast that feels alive. In the right light, the bowl almost glows, the red and purple hues shifting like festival banners in the sun.

Pieces like this weren't designed to vanish into the background. They were made to hold fruit, yes, but also to show off craft, taste and the ability to make even the most functional object, unabashedly beautiful. In this bowl, you get all of that. Brass hammered into form, painted into brilliance and carrying a tradition of bold expression forward.
