Vintage Etched Brass Trumpet Vase – Middle Eastern Floral & Calligraphy Style

This is a beautiful, handcrafted brass vase featuring a classic trumpet silhouette with a flared rim and a bulbous base. The entire exterior is intricately decorated with hand-etched (chased) designs, including scrolling floral motifs, rhythmic geometric borders, and stylized script-like patterns common in Islamic or Indo-Persian metalwork. Condition & Craftsmanship • Material: Solid Brass. • Technique: Hand-etched/engraved. The vase shows visible construction seams (particularly at the neck), which is a hallmark of traditional handcrafted assembly rather than modern mass production. • Patina: It has a warm, aged gold tone with some natural oxidation and minor wear consistent with age, giving it a charming vintage character. • Interior: Shows a darker, natural aged copper/brass finish. Measurements • Height: Approximately 6.5 inches (as shown against the ruler). • Weight: 5.9 ounces (as shown on the digital scale). • Base: Circular pedestal base with a diameter of approximately 2 inches. Design Details The vase is divided into decorative registers: • Upper Rim: Features a repeating scalloped or foliate border. • Neck: Elongated neck decorated with vertical floral sprays. • Body: The main bulbous section displays larger, more complex medallions and intertwined scrolling vines. • Base: Finished with a braided or "guilloche" style etched band.
