Lot Footnotes
The distinctive combination of silver and gilt floral sprays around the circumference of the flask echoes the rosettes and drooping feathered leaves of a 17th century bidri flask in the British Museum. The blues, green and yellow of the enamelled surface decoration are paralleled in the 17th century enamelled pieces from the Nadir Shah booty.
A very similar, though slightly smaller, flask sold at Sotheby's Arts of the Islamic world, 13 October 2004, Lot 122.
