🕰️ History & Craftsmanship
This dish was hand-made in northern India, likely in Jaipur or Moradabad, renowned centers for mid-century Meenakari enamel brasswork. During the 1950s–1970s, local artisans crafted elegant brass decor for Western export markets, blending centuries-old enamel techniques with modern design sensibilities. Each piece, including this one, was individually painted and fired—making every example slightly unique.
🌸 Styling Notes Display as a standalone accent or use as a jewelry or trinket tray. Its vibrant enamel and metallic shimmer pair perfectly with boho, Hollywood Regency, or eclectic vintage interiors.
