Featured nice indian metal vase help

Hi folks

was supposed to be out christmas shopping yesterday but spent all day in the thrifts.
found some cool things though.

i'm presuming this is from india way, very much in the same technique style as a beggars bowl i found

don't know if its silver or a tinned copper,

i'm guessing its pretty old

any info or thoughts would be a massive help

 

Very handsome piece, Ches

 

thanks me ol mucker

 

Great find and beautiful shape. It looks like silver to me, do have it tested.
Origin is tricky, I get a feeling it is Malay*. It could be Islamic India or Pakistan though.

*Malays are not Malaysians. Malays originated in Sumatra, Indonesia, and spread along the coasts and waterways of most of Indonesia, Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore. Wherever they live, their culture still bears many Sumatran Islamic characteristics.
The state of Malaysia is named after the Malays, its inhabitants are called Malaysians.

 

Very helpful, thanks Aj , you did spring to mind when i saw it. have ordered more test fluids so fingers crossed

 

Pretty thing. Nice find. Does look like silver or maybe an alloy.

 

It looks more Persian than Indian to me.

 

I was thinking Persian too, but I agree with aj, tricky to attribute. I do think it’s silver.

 

Brilliant Chas-IMHO one of your best so far.Can't wait to hear exactly what you've found.
PS-You've got to be glad that little gold Kiwi wasn't your final pick of the year. Christmas or not-you simply can't keep a great picker down !
