[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 3665431, member: 2844"]Does anyone know in which part of India this type of inlay was made? It is an antique bone kohl bottle. When I bought it, I thought the green decorations were painted, but they turn out to be inlaid. Some of the inlay is missing, and the cavities filled with traces of kohl through use. You can feel the difference between the body of the bottle, the inlay, and the cavities. If it is any help, the general style resembles some South Indian kohl bottles I have, from Madras/Chennai and Kerala. Total height: 65 mm, just over 2.5" The colour of the stopper is much lighter, it could be a replacement. Thank you for looking.:) [ATTACH=full]309764[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]309765[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]309766[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
