| Specifications︰ | Kashmir(INDIA) is also famous for Intricate designing of copperware/ Silverware items.
Craftsmen engrave objects of household utility-samovars, bowls, plates and trays, tea sets etc
Floral, stylized, geometric, leaf and sometimes calligraphic motifs are engraved or embossed on copper, and occasionally silver, to cover the entire surface with intricate designs which are then oxidized, the better to stand out from the background. The work known as ¡¥naqash¡¦ determines the price of the object, as does the weight.
Both plain and engraved work is executed to cater to the differing tastes of buyers. The range of silverware is indeed wide: silver tea-sets, flower vases, toilet sets, ornamental picture frames, cigarette cases, tumblers etc, Among the flora and fauna, leaves of the 'chinar' and the lotus furnish the popular patterns. Designs of the lilac, a popular flower of the valley are also wrought in the silver.. |
