Artwork Details

Title: Flask (Surahi)

Date: 18th century

Location:  Jaipur, Rajasthan, India

Materials: gold, partly enamelled and set with diamonds in gold kundan

Dimensions: height 24cm 

Accession Number: JLY 1803

Other Notes:

The neck, which is in two sections and screws into the globular body, is set with foiled diamonds, mostly table-cut, on a ground of green translucent enamel. In contrast to its rich enamelling and jewelled encrustation, the body is undecorated, most probably because it was made to be plunged into ice or snow to cool the contents.
