Brass Fluted Vase with Tassel, India, Mid-20th Century

This brass vase has a gently fluted body that tapers up to a ruffled, scalloped mouth, with a twisted cord and tassel draped around the neck like a bit of jewelry. The dark, aged patina gives the metal real warmth and depth. A romantic, decorative piece that brings texture and old world charm to a shelf or table.
