Engraved Brass Decorative Bowl with Square Base Mark — 17 cm × 6 cm

Decorative engraved brass bowl offered as a single lot. Bright, chased decoration around the exterior and a clear square impressed mark on the base are the lot’s strongest visible features. Seller identifies the metal as brass (photos supplied). The interior shows heavy patina and verdigris, giving the piece strong aged character while the exterior retains polished areas that highlight the engraved pattern.

This low, wide bowl suits display use on a coffee table, sideboard or shelf as a decorative objet, or for a restoration project. The interior finish and residue suggest prior use that could be consistent with an incense censer or planter — ideal for collectors, restorers or decorators who like aged metalwork or want a decorative vessel with visible age and character.
