Etched Brass Bud Vase

This item is an intricately etched brass bud vase, possibly of Indian or Middle Eastern origin. It features a rich, golden-brown patinated brass construction, giving it an antique appearance. The vase has a slender, elongated form, consisting of a trumpet-shaped base that widens into a bulbous mid-section, then tapers upwards to a narrow neck, culminating in a deeply ruffled or scalloped rim. The primary decorative elements are the detailed, curvilinear floral and foliate motifs etched into the brass, visible on the bulbous body and repeated with similar patterns on the foot of the base. The etching appears to be hand-done, indicating a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures in the provided images. The condition appears to be good with a natural, aged patina, suggesting it has been well-preserved. There are no obvious signs of major damage such as dents, cracks, or significant repair work, though minor surface wear consistent with age and handling would be expected. The overall aesthetic suggests a late 19th to mid-20th century style, characterized by ornate metallic craftsmanship. Its quality is indicated by the fine etching and the robust construction of the brass.
