The slender neck was designed to provide a secure grip while regulating the pour. Rather than leaving the copper smooth, master metalworkers transformed the functional vessel into a canvas for dense, continuous botanical storytelling, featuring repeating arches and blooming lotuses.

It serves remarkably well as a traditional copper water vessel for curated bookshelf styling, making it an unforgettable wedding gift for a couple curating a highly textured home. Standing exactly eleven inches tall, the decanter shares the approximate vertical stature of a classic wine bottle, establishing a sweeping, elegant focal point without crowding the surface. Weighing 1.15 kg, the concentrated mass of the thick cast metal provides undeniable physical stability despite its narrow neck. The staggering manual precision required to cleanly hand-chisel the microscopic floral matrix across the curved, scalloped belly validates this piece as an elite achievement in functional foundry work.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%;\"\u003eHighlight the rich botanical engravings on this decanter by presenting it beside a large, commanding antique brass handi.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Mandala ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46192709796015,"sku":"VSP-116","price":4900.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8851\/9855\/files\/40_Compressed_a6807db4-9c51-480f-a7d5-fe4bde3e37d0.jpg?v=1762238444","url":"https:\/\/www.thecasamandala.com\/products\/engraved-copper-surahi-vase","provider":"Casa Mandala ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
