From Makrana, Rajasthan, this antique original hand turned bowl dates back to the 19th century and would have been used in India as an everyday vessel.
Makrana marble was of popular demand due to its durability, resistance to water seepage and because it was considered easy to work with.
It was used in the creation of the Victoria Memorial in Kolkata and as the main stone material for the famed Taj Mahal.
The specific colouring for this marble displays a multitude of warm browns.
The bowl has a wide, flattened conical shape with a level base and a smooth, yet uneven rim.
Sourced in the Cotswolds.
