Stronge, Bidri Ware: Inlaid Metalwork from India, London, 1985, p. 11). The present lot is decorated in the reverse bidri technique, known as aftabi, where the background is of silver overlay and the motifs are cut through to reveal the black base metal underneath. A similar bidri talismanic bowl is in the Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan Collection, Geneva, illustrated in M. Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, p. 348, fig. 571. Zebrowski comments that the use of script on the interior of vessels is a rare technical feat not seen on Mughal or Safavid objects and associated specifically with the Deccan.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

An enamelled gilt-silver dish North India, probably Lucknow, circa 1750-80of shallow form with curved sides and everted rim, decorated in yellow, blue and green enamel with a central roundel containing a rosette surrounded by an interlace of floral and foliate motifs, the sides with a band of trefoil motifs alternately surmounted by paired split-palmettes, the base with three engraved inscriptions 16.8 cm. diam. max.; 258 g.Footnotes:ProvenancePrivate UK collection.Inscriptions: Mir Muzaffar Husayn Khan Sahib and Rahim al-Nisa Begum Sahiba, tola 21Mughal enamelled courtly objects from the 17th and 18th century are rare. The enamelled decoration of a central stylized flower and flowering plants on the base of a huqqa base in the Clive Collection at Powis Castle (inv. no. NFS 900) have similarities in colour and composition to the flowers in the well of our dish. It is likely that the Clive Huqqa was produced in Lucknow, and is known to have been acquired by 1766. Similarities in the decoration of the present lot can also be drawn with an enamelled pandan and huqqa base both dated to the early 18th Century and illustrated in Mark Zebrowski, Gold, Silver & Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, pp. 92-93, nos. 85 and 86.Rahim al-Nisa Begum (b.1842) was the mother of Mir Muzaffa Husayn Khan (b.1866), the Nawwab of Surat in Gujarat.

They had their origins in Persia but became popular throughout the Mughal Empire. The Emperor Jahangir (1605-27) refers to the custom in his memoirs, stating, 'the assembly of gulab-pashi (sprinkling of rose water) took place; from former times this has been known as ab-pashi (water sprinkling) and has become established from amongst customs of former days' (quoted in M. Zebrowski, Gold, Silver and Bronze from Mughal India, London, 1997, p.69).For a similar pair of silver-gilt rosewater sprinklers sold in these rooms, see Bonhams, Islamic and Indian Art Including the Lion and the Sun, Art from Qajar Persia, 30 April 2019, lot 155.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
