A PARCEL-GILT SILVER ROSEWATER SPRINKLER (GULAB PASH) PROPERTY FROM THE JOURDAN-BARRY COLLECTION OF INDIAN ART Lucknow, North India, 19th century? Of zoomorphic shape, realistically modelled as a stork with a long neck, the eyes inset with red hard stones, holding in its beak a blooming lotus flower, pierced to let the water out, on the back an unscrewed lid to refill the water, the paws screwed onto a circular stepped base, 28.3cm high. For a very similar, though earlier in date, example, please see C. Terlinden, Mughal Silver Magnificence 16th - 19th century, Brussels, 1987, tab. 24, p. 51. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London also has another example, dated to 19th century as ours, and it's been attributed to the Jhallawar silverware production (inv. no. VAM.4-1887).Notes: Islamic & Indian Art
