ABOUT THIS PIECE
The center of each dish carries a radiating flower medallion; the wide rim is filled with scrolling leaves and blooms rendered in fine, closely worked lines. The two dishes share the same vocabulary of motifs but are not identical. The brass has developed a warm, even patina that is darker in the engraved lines. "Made in India" stamped on the reverse. Consistent with mid-to-late 20th century production. 

INSPIRATION
Display where the engraving can be seen up close — propped upright on an eye-level shelf, tucked into a vignette, or set out on a desk or nightstand to hold rings or other small items. 

CONDITION
Excellent vintage condition. Brass shows an even, aged patina.
