Mother of pearl bowl. Gujarat. India. 19th century.
This piece is formed completely by studded plaques of mother of pearl. 16 x 8 cm.
It appears to be proven that the use of mother of pearl for artistic ends began in China, arriving to Asia Minor and the Islamic East through the Silk Route. It was in the north and west of India (North of Gujarat), where mother of pearl was most used, in two techniques: collage on resins or on lacquer (imported technique) or studding (Indian technique). It was Ottoman merchants who mostly traded with this type of object.
This type of object was made both for local use and for exportation to Europe. The rarity of the material and the delicate and distinctive craftsmanship meant that they were objects prized by collectors, for their cabinets of curiosities.
