Description:
This is a small decorative goblet-shaped vase, most likely made of brass. The piece features a flared, scalloped rim, a baluster body with simple engraved or incised lines, and a pedestal foot. The relatively simple, utilitarian decoration, patina, and form suggest mid-20th century production, possibly from India or the Middle East, where such brass works were commonly made for export and decorative use.
