Small Brass Bowl with Rope Handles & Scalloped Rim, Ø 8 cm – Vintage Farmhouse Ring Dish, Mid-20th Century

A heavy miniature brass bowl with two twisted rope handles and a finely scalloped pie-crust rim – shimmering warm gold, with a grown, honest patina.

Use

Care

Wipe dry; if you like more shine, polish with brass cleaner – but the patina is part of its character.

At the flea market in Eisenstadt the little bowl lay in a crate of door handles and candlesticks – heavy in the hand and warm like a piece of sunshine.
