Indian Brass Spitoon

Broad-lipped vase in honey tones, flaring like it has something to announce.

This brass spittoon from India is from India, and dates to the early 20th century. The form is usually a wide, flaring mouth over a rounded body, a shape that is stable and easy to use and to clean. Trumpet-shaped vessel with a sweeping flared mouth, a raised ring at the neck and a full round belly above a stepped foot. The surface is a mellow brown-gold with darker spots toward the rim. It is 6.5 inches high and 6.5 in diameter.

Everything curves, and nothing is out of place.
