This 17th century silver water bowl, crafted by an anonymous artist, is a beautiful example of decorative arts. It features intricate floral patterns that adorn the lid and base of the bowl. The use of embossed floral patterns is a characteristic of silverwork from this period, highlighting the craftsmanship and artistry of the time. The bowl's small size suggests it was likely a personal item, intended for individual use.

This silver water bowl with a cover is adorned with the same kind of large floral motifs found on the Indian ebony cabinet (elsewhere in this gallery). The set was made in Batavia, where Indian craftsmen further developed the floral style. The bowl was likely used to serve cold water.
