The listing, Vintage/Antique Repousse Bowl with Lid Nickel-plated Brass has ended.
Up for auction is a really neat vintage/antique repousse and hand-chased bowl with a lid. It is made of nickel-plated brass. Nickel was sometimes used instead of silver to reduce tarnishing. I believe that it was made in Thailand sometime in the early to mid 1900s, but I don't know for sure. What I do know is that the metalwork on this bowl is gorgeous. You can see all of the repousse (done from the underside) work which forms the flowers and vines, and the hand chasing (done from the outside) which forms the background design. This is a fantastic little bowl. It is in very good condition, but there is some wear to the nickel plate. The bowl measures 6" in diameter and 1.25" high. Please see the photos. It definitely looks better in person than in the pictures!
