Toorpyali | Small Bowl Set

Kashmiri Copper Toorpyali Set – Hand-Engraved Chinar Leaf Design

This authentic set of six copper toorpyalis (small bowls) embodies the grace and elegance of traditional Kashmiri dining. Each bowl is adorned with hand-engraved chinar leaf motifs, meticulously carved by skilled artisans using the time-honored naqashi technique that has defined Kashmir's metalwork heritage for centuries.

The toorpyali holds a cherished place in Kashmiri culinary tradition, serving as the perfect vessel for presenting curries, shorba (broths), chutneys, and accompaniments during elaborate dastarkhaan spreads. Arranged alongside rice plates during lunches and dinners, these bowls bring both functionality and ceremonial beauty to the dining experience, honoring the Kashmiri tradition of generous hospitality and communal feasting.

The warm copper surface, enhanced by its natural patina, showcases the intricate chinar leaf engravings that catch and reflect light beautifully. Each curve and detail speaks to the artisan's dedication and the enduring legacy of Kashmiri craftsmanship.

Beyond their traditional culinary purpose, these toorpyalis make stunning decorative pieces. Display them as a set to create an eye-catching focal point, or incorporate individual bowls into your décor to add warmth and cultural richness to any space.
