VINTAGE BRONZE URLI:
This exquisite solid bronze Urli is a traditional cookware in South India and has a rich history dating back many many years. It is traditionally handcrafted using materials such as clay, copper, and bronze. The name "Urli" originates from the Tamil word "Urulai", which aptly describes its round bowl shape. Initially, these vessels were used for cooking meals and preparing Ayurvedic medicines within households. Over time, they have transformed into beautiful decorative bowls. Today, they serve a different purpose as they are used to hold floating flowers and candles. This daily ritual practiced at homes and workplaces carries deep symbolic significance, representing auspiciousness. During festivals and special occasions, it is customary to embellish entrances with these adorned Urlis, paying homage to tradition and inviting positive energies into the space.
Please note that vintage pieces come with small imperfections, that's a part of its beauty and age.
