Handcrafted White Marble Floral Inlay Vase | Pietra Dura Art with Semi-Precious Stones – Agra Marble Handicraft

This exquisite white marble inlay vase is a fine representation of Agra’s centuries-old Pietra Dura craftsmanship, a heritage art form perfected during the Mughal era and famously seen in the Taj Mahal. Carefully hand-shaped from natural white marble, the vase features a classic rounded silhouette with a flared neck and a solid pedestal base, giving it both visual elegance and structural balance.

The surface of the vase is adorned with intricate hand-inlaid floral and creeper motifs, symmetrically arranged around the body. Each motif is individually carved and filled with natural semi-precious stones, creating a vivid contrast against the pristine white marble base.

Semi-Precious Stones Used

Lapis Lazuli – Rich blue tones used in floral petals, symbolizing royalty and depth
Malachite – Natural green stone forming graceful vines and leaves
Carnelian / Red Jasper – Deep red hues enhancing the floral highlights
Mother of Pearl – Subtle iridescent accents used for fine borders and detailing

These stones are hand-cut and precisely fitted into the marble using traditional tools, then polished to achieve a smooth, seamless finish. The craftsmanship ensures durability while preserving the natural beauty and color of each stone.
