Antique Handcrafted Indian Iron Pot
Early 1900s Decorative Metal Vase with Traditional Jali Work | Heritage Rustic Décor

Celebrate the legacy of Indian metal artistry with this antique handcrafted iron pot, a sculptural heritage piece from early 20th-century India. Featuring traditional Jali lattice detailing, this striking vessel merges function and form, offering a dramatic focal point for curated interiors.

✦ Artisan Metalwork & Historic Elegance

Crafted in the early 1900s by skilled Indian metalsmiths, this pot exemplifies Jali work—a decorative pierced metal technique rooted in Mughal architectural design. The pot’s bulbous form is enveloped in hand-perforated iron mesh, producing rich texture and light interplay. A contrasting smooth neck, finished in a brass-toned patina, offers a visual counterpoint to the intricate body.

Once functional, now reimagined as a sculptural accent, this piece tells the story of traditional craft meeting timeless design.

✦ Key Features

• Authentic antique iron pot, handcrafted in India circa 1900

• Encased in intricate Jali latticework—each opening manually punched and shaped

• Smooth, brass-toned neck with aged golden hues

• Functional as a dry vase or sculptural home accent

• Ideal for rustic, heritage, wabi-sabi, or global interiors

• One-of-a-kind collectible – rich in texture and visual presence

✦ Cultural & Artistic Significance

Historically, Jali patterns were used in Indian palace screens to filter sunlight, create privacy, and symbolise divine order through geometry. This pot adapts that same principle—transforming architecture into ornament—while preserving its ritualistic and design heritage. It embodies both the spiritual symbolism and utilitarian beauty of traditional Indian living.

✦ Styling Tip

Display this piece in a hallway, under a staircase, or on a pedestal as a central sculptural feature. For a refined look, pair with antique woods, neutral stone, or textured textiles. Add dried branches or leave empty to showcase its full form.
