Elegant Hand-Carved Fluted Stone Urli Decorative Bowl

The Story

There's a quiet grandeur to this fluted urli—a piece that belongs as much in a contemporary gallery as it does anchoring a curated dining table or entryway. Its scalloped rim and radiating grooves catch light and shadow in gentle waves, transforming the simple act of display into theater.

Floated with rose petals and candles, it becomes a ritual. Left empty, it commands attention through form alone. This is the kind of piece that design enthusiasts and collectors return to again and again, discovering new subtleties in its hand-carved geometry.

Rooted in the ancient Indian tradition of the urli—vessels once used to hold water and flowers in temple courtyards—this interpretation honors heritage while speaking a thoroughly modern language.

The Craft

Carved from a single block of natural stone by artisans in Rajasthan, each urli requires weeks of devoted work. Every groove is chiseled by hand using techniques refined over generations. The undulating rim, the radial symmetry—all emerge through patient collaboration between craftsman and stone, ensuring no two pieces are ever identical.
