{"product_id":"old-kadai-fire-bowl","title":"Old Kadai Fire Bowl On Stand - Ca 1920 - 70cm","description":"\u003cp\u003eBring warmth, character, and centuries of craftsmanship to your garden with this authentic antique Indian Kadai fire bowl. Originally used as a large-scale cooking vessel at festivals, weddings, and community gatherings across Rajasthan, these remarkable iron cauldrons have found a new life as decorative outdoor fire pits. Hand-selected in India for their substantial construction, aesthetic appeal, and durability, each Kadai bears the marks of its working life, with a richly patinated surface and distinctive hand-forged character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDating from the early 20th century, this example has been traditionally constructed from thick iron plates that have been riveted and hammer-welded together, creating the unique patchwork appearance for which antique Kadais are renowned. The bowl is supplied with a metal stand and cooking grill, allowing it to be enjoyed as both a fire pit and outdoor cooking feature. When not in use, it also makes an attractive planter, bringing sculptural interest to garden settings throughout the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese vessels are closely associated with the Gaduliya Lohars, a community of itinerant blacksmiths from Rajasthan and Gujarat who were historically celebrated for their metalworking skills. Crafted from repurposed iron using traditional techniques, each Kadai represents a fascinating piece of India's rich heritage of recycling, craftsmanship, and practical design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rajasthan, India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early 20th Century, circa 1900–1920\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-forged and riveted iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e Original antique Kadai bowl, metal stand, removable grill\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional riveted and hammer-welded iron plate construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique condition with age-related wear, surface patination, and historic use marks consistent with age and use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e W70 x D77 x H56 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl Diameter: \u003c\/strong\u003e70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Information:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drainage holes can be added to the base free of charge upon request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BinderKing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53551400943925,"sku":"A02693","price":327.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/5243\/2181\/files\/Antique_Indian_Original_Kadai_Fire_Bowl_A02693.jpg?v=1789233436","url":"https:\/\/binderking.shop\/products\/old-kadai-fire-bowl","provider":"BinderKing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
