This exquisitely handcrafted serving bowl hails from the craft-wise rich city of Moradabad and features the wood-turning technique. A skilled artisan fixes a rough-hewn circular block of wood at the head of the traditional lathe machine and hammers it in place by hand. The machine begins whirring as the artisan introduces a hand-held chisel to the block, and applies varying degrees of pressure to sculpt the desired shape and to smoothen the edges, and reveal an offering that is steeped in tradition but has an international appeal. Artisans of Moradabad persevere to keep ancient crafts alive even in face of stiff competition from cheaper, machine-made imitations
