This elegant white marble lidded jar is a masterpiece of traditional Pietra Dura (marble inlay) art, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans of Agra. Carved from premium natural white marble, the jar features a graceful urn-like silhouette with a finely balanced pedestal base and a domed lid topped with a smooth marble finial.

The surface is richly adorned with flowing floral and vine motifs, inspired by Mughal garden designs. The inlay work wraps harmoniously around the body, lid, and neck of the jar, creating a continuous decorative narrative. Each flower and leaf is carefully hand-cut from semi-precious stones and inlaid into the marble with exceptional precision.

The warm orange-red floral tones combined with cool green and blue accents create a striking contrast against the pristine white marble. The jar’s symmetrical proportions, polished finish, and detailed craftsmanship make it both a functional container and a luxurious décor accent.

This Pietra Dura marble jar is embellished using authentic natural semi-precious stones, including:

Carnelian – Used prominently for orange and red floral petals

Malachite – Green leaves and vine detailing

Turquoise – Soft blue highlights in floral accents

Lapis Lazuli – Deep blue detailing within select flowers

Mother of Pearl – Subtle iridescent highlights enhancing depth

All stones are hand-shaped and precisely inlaid, resulting in a smooth, seamless surface.
