Indian Marble Fluted Bowl

A pale scalloped dish, eight lobes wide and cloud gray all over.

This fluted marble bowl is from Rajasthan, India, and is contemporary. Rajasthan is a major source of marble in India, and quarries such as Makrana are often named in connection with the stone used for the Taj Mahal. Shallow dish with a wavy, eight-lobed rim and a gently dished center. The gray-white stone has a soft veiled look with fine faint lines running across the surface. The edge is thin and smooth. It is 9.5 inches wide, 9.5 deep and 1 high.

Cool, calm and cut like a flower.
