Beautiful bowl with the lid

Yay @i need help !

Beautiful Persian lidded bowl, Branka. I agree with Holly, it looks like tinned brass, which means there wouldn't be a fineness mark.

 

Thanks AJ. any idea of its age?

 

At least 19th century imo, Qajar dynasty.

 

Thanks. I’m glad I bought it. It was $4.49

 

AJ, thanks. You made my day. Googling Qajar I notice that this beauty may fall in that category. I have it for long time as I’m copper dishes addict

Wanted to say that I am so glad I joined this blog. What a great way to learn, communicate, get help and help someone. All of you out there, thanks very much. This is continuous education, wonderful.

 

We aim to please.

I agree, and certainly a beauty. In general the Persians favoured copper, but they used brass as well. Copper was often tinned, and as you can see, brass was tinned too sometimes.

Terrible affliction. Sharing your experiences with other antiques addicts, also called 'experience experts', is said to be therapeutic.

 

Hey sweetie.

 

Branka is right, it's an old tinned brass pandan box, India
