Silver Plated Bowls and Bowl Sets for Gifting

This page holds 58 silver plated bowls from ₹400, from 0.5 to 10 inch tall. All 58 are silver plated brass: a brass body with a layer of silver on top, not solid silver. Weights run from 80 g to 1.82 kg, the middle of the range is about ₹1,435 and the top is ₹6,605.

Start with how it will be given. Single bowls from 2 inch (the supari size) to 4.5 and 5 inch are for a pooja shelf, for mukhwas, or as a small return gift. Sets are the wedding and Diwali choice: there is a set of 4 ice cream bowls at 3.5 inch and a set of 3 in a decorative velvet box. A boxed set saves you the gift wrapping and travels safely. Then check the weight on the listing. A heavier bowl has a thicker brass body under the silver, sits steady on a table and dents less. Designs include katora shapes and a bowl carried on elephants (Hathi).

Silver plate is a thin layer, so never scrub it. Wash by hand with mild soap and a soft sponge, dry at once and keep it away from steel wool, lemon and brass powder, which wear the silver through to the yellow metal. It will tarnish grey in open air; store it wrapped in soft cloth or in its box.
