Repoussé, tinned brass tumbler from North India, which would make a lovely vase or pencil holder. This early 20th century cup is densely decorated with palmettes within diamond shaped frames. Repoussé is a metalworking technique in which a malleable metal is shaped by hammering from the reverse side to create a design in low relief. Embossing is a similar technique in which the piece is hammered on the front side, sinking the metal. The two techniques may be used in conjunction. Due to age and wear, the cup has not been food-tested for safety.
