Late 19th Century Large Anglo Indian Etched Colored Brass Vases with Peacocks – A Pair

Impressive and very cool large scale flute form brass vases with intricate etched designs covering the surface and peacock decoration. Colored in red and green in a manner similar to cloisonne, with a lovely old patina to the brass. At almost 2 feet high these vases make a statement. The classical form and muted coloring are truly elegant. You won’t see another pair of these, my current favorite new acquisition.
Measures: 23.4 inches high 6.4 diameter

The peacock is symbolic of re-growth and rejuvenation, honor, and integrity. They are also a symbol of beauty, love, and passion. In Hinduism and Buddhism, these birds are considered to be sacred and honored alongside their deities.
