A Pair of Engraved Brass Kettles on a Marbled Stone Tray - A pair of globular brass kettles featuring chased and engraved decoration of scrolling foliate patterns and stylised figures. The kettles are constructed with cast brass spouts and handle supports, featuring turned, dark-stained wooden handles. Each kettle includes a fitted lid topped with a central finial. The set is presented on a rectangular tray comprising a pale green onyx or marbled stone slab secured within a tubular brass-coloured metal frame with rounded handles. The decorative style is characteristic of mid-to-late 20th-century export wares from the Indian subcontinent or Middle East. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the exterior surfaces.
