This Royal Lattice Cutwork Pedestal Urli Bowl brings an extraordinarily premium, palace-like heritage layout to our master-crafted hollowware collection. The standout visual signature of this piece is its striking Jali cutwork design — featuring a continuous ring of beautifully perforated vertical lattice slits that encircle the entire flared wall panel. The top rim and the lower pedestal foot are elegantly highlighted with a deep, dark-shaded braided rope border texture. As a brand, Sri Swaminathan & Co is a master in class on designed brass bowls; this is the premier destination to buy a vintage, classical, authentic, and traditional layout that cannot be found anywhere else for this quality in this price range.

Multiverse Functionality: Dining Room, Pooja Room & Mandir Altar

This premium designer piece features a high-utility multiverse layout, meaning it seamlessly transforms its spiritual and functional purpose depending on where you place it inside your household layout:

• Elegant Fine Dining & Fresh Fruit Staging — On your dining table or kitchen counter, this pedestal urli serves as a magnificent centrepiece. The open lattice cutwork walls allow continuous airflow all around the interior basin, making it exceptionally apt for stacking fresh fruits like apples, oranges, and bananas to prevent them from spoiling quickly. It is also perfect for dry snacks, whole nuts, and wrapped festive sweets.
• Sacred Mandir Altar Presentation — In your home prayer room or main deity temple mandir, it holds deep ritual value. The elevated pedestal base lifts your sacred offerings off the tray floor, making it ideal for presenting whole coconuts, unpeeled ritual fruits, betel leaves, or vast arrangements of fresh loose flower petals before the gods.
• Vastu Threshold Welcoming Decor — You can easily transform this piece into a traditional floating urli. Simply place it on your entrance hallway table or altar tray, fill it with clean water, and float loose jasmine or marigold petals on top to welcome positive energy and rich financial stability into your living space.

Practical Serving Rules & Evergreen Gifting

• The Absolute Best Choice for Return Gifts — Weighing a very solid 250 grams, this bowl carries a highly premium, luxury weight in the hand. It serves as an evergreen, timeless gift choice to honour your most loved family members and friends during Navratri Golu celebrations, traditional weddings, housewarmings, and milestone family functions.
• Safe Serving Guidelines — Due to the raw natural chemical properties of solid brass, this piece is not suitable for cooked items, hot liquids, or wet/sour ingredients (like curd, pickles, or citrus items). It is perfectly engineered for dry foods, unshelled nuts, fresh fruits, whole dry fruits, festive sweets, and dry snacks.
• Flared Stable Pedestal Base — The heavy 8 cm pedestal foot base shifts the lower centre of gravity perfectly flat, ensuring the bowl stays completely balanced on flat surfaces or altar cloths without any rocking risks.

Sizing, Quality & Material Specifications

• Thick Heavy-Gauge Solid Brass Build — Formed from fine-grade premium brass that carries a highly durable, solid construction. It stands an impressive 6.5 cm tall with a wide 14.5 cm top diameter, ensuring it makes a grand statement on any dining table or temple counter layout.
• Elite Double-Style Polish Finish — The main curved body boasts a smooth, high-gloss golden mirror polish that catches the light beautifully, while the braided rope borders lock in deep, dark-shaded antique tones to maximise historical visual contrast.

Simple Care & Washing Instructions

Because this solid piece features fine structural cutouts and detailed rope borders, simple care keeps it looking pristine:

• The Base Wash — Wash the bowl using Sabeena cleaning powder and a soft sponge to easily wipe away sticky oils or dust. Never scrub hard with coarse steel wire wool, as it can scrape the fine raised accents.
• Restoring the Antique Contrast — Rub a small amount of fresh tamarind paste or fresh lemon juice mixed with fine salt over the surfaces. The natural fruit acid instantly dissolves dark spots and brings back the bright golden shine to the outer polished walls.
• Wipe It Dry Immediately — Always dry the structure completely using a clean towel immediately after rinsing so that water drops do not leave uneven white mineral spots inside the lattice cuts or border tracks.
