Vintage Circular Brass Bowl with Tab Handles

This item is a circular, low-profile bowl crafted from solid brass, potentially of mid-20th-century Asian or Indian origin. The bowl is shown inverted, revealing a recessed circular foot or base with a central indentation likely from the metal spinning or casting process. It features two symmetrical, semi-circular tab-style handles that project horizontally from the rim. The color is a muted, warm golden-yellow characteristic of aged brass. The construction appears to be machine-spun or cast metal with a medium gauge thickness. The surface exhibits a varied patina with substantial evidence of use and aging, including darkening (oxidation), spotting, and surface scratches. Notable condition issues include visible verdigris (greenish copper carbonate) near the handle junctions and around the base, and several small dings or pits consistent with age. There are no visible maker's marks or signatures on the base. The quality is indicative of mid-range decorative metalware, possibly intended as a serving dish, fruit bowl, or an offering vessel. The simple, geometric form suggests a utilitarian but elegant design that could be categorized under Mid-Century Modern or traditional folk-art brassware depending on the interior's details.
