This is a vintage Indian brass planter with a wide flared rim and gently panelled sides, made from solid brass with a naturally aged surface. The interior shows expected verdigris from previous plant use, adding to its character.
Likely made in mid-century India, these small brass vessels were traditionally used as cachepots to hold potted plants rather than soil directly. It works well for houseplants, dried stems or as a decorative accent on shelves and tables.
The base is smooth and unmarked, and the piece sits evenly. The patina includes spotting and tarnish throughout, consistent with age and use.
