EXQUISITE SILVER ANTIQUE EAST INDIAN ANGEL FIGURAL ROSE WATER SPRINKLER 436 GMS

Description

ANTIQUE SILVER EAST INDIAN FIGURAL
Exquisite antique indian silver rose water sprinkler ( I think !) !!!
The truth I sthat I really don't know what the purpose of this beautiful object is.  The dealer who sold it to me thought it was used to sprinkle rose water on guest for parties & weddings.
That really doesn't explain the pumping mechanism unless it was used to disperse the rose water as a fine spray instead of just drops.
I tried filling it but couldn't get it to work.
In the meantime it looks graceful & elegant in my group of silver collectibles from all over the world. She is draped in a sari and has wings, so she must be an angel !
Rich & Elegant. Great heft at 456 grams of silver
8.75" tall and 3.12" at the base
Marked Made in India Recd : No 62831  MRM Pat no. 24713
Wonderful for your silver collection.
