    Picked this up at the boot this morning. I think it's a tea caddy or maybe a spice container. I don't usually bother with Indian brass items as they seem so abundant, but I do like the silver and copper inlay on this.
    It's about 10cm tall. IMG20240519113938_copy_3000x4000.jpg IMG20240519113946_copy_3000x4000.jpg IMG20240519113949_copy_3000x4000.jpg IMG20240519114002_copy_4000x3000.jpg

    I think at one stage this was showing it's age before someone used a buffing wheel on it, I like it, it has a charm about it.

    I think it has been regularly polished, hence the residue in all the gaps. I think it's going on my mantle piece for a while
