Another rare gau , should not have sold this as it's the only one I ever had. Purchased in HK years ago, it actually is from Northern India Himachel Pradesh.

I remember the elderly lady in the UK that purchased it having no idea where it was from but loving it all the same. I regret giving it up as it is the only one I have ever seen or had. Nice wire work design. Funny how things end up all over, Finding this in Hong Kong of all places!

There's something magical about the combination of coral and blue enamel, regardless of where a piece is from.
