The iron beams of Konark Sun temple in Orissa, India and the iron pillar
at Qutab Minar in Delhi are evidence of the numerous skills achieved
by Indians in the field of metalware. Metal is part of the Indian
mystique as each metal has its own alchemic and healing powers.
Availability of different metals and its vulnerable nature has made it
the base for a variety of decorative techniques such as inlay,
metal casting, carving, applique, etc. The work done in Moradabad,
Jaipur and Jodhpur are representative of this.
Jodhpur, in Rajasthan, has almost become synonymous with metalwork. It
is specially noted for its vases. The vases are made with a thin sheet
of iron and embossed with intricate designs created by hand by the
artists. The artist finishes the piece by coating and polishing to give
it an antique silver, Copper or Brass look.
We bring to you the best Jodhpur Vases in a variety of finishes, designs
and sizes.
