The form of this little antique singing bowl is extremely rare, and this is the smallest of its kind I have come across in 30 years of collecting.  It is also the prettiest, with its decorative collar of sun motifs (circles with dots at the centre) and bunting-like downward-facing triangles of suns surrounding its shoulder.  It is beautifully constructed and in excellent condition.

 

The fundamental struck note is a fifth octave C (532Hz) while the played note is sometimes a C#5 (544Hz).  This little bowl nestles comfortably in the palm of the hand and is an absolute delight to hold and play.  Its unusual shape produces a very distinctive sound when struck or played.  The struck note in particular seems to hold the sound within the bowl before releasing it from the open mouth, like a genie from a bottle.  It’s very strange walking around with a bowl full of sound!   A ringer is included in the price.

 

I love this little bowl and will be sorry to see it go!
