Radiant in amber hues, this Mughal huqqa base once played a central role in the sensorial theatre of Mughal courtly life. Blown from translucent glass, its globular form is embellished with bold chevron patterns rendered entirely in gold, their zigzag rhythm catching and scattering light with every turn. Designed as part of a huqqa ensemble, this vessel transcended mere utility, serving as a gleaming centerpiece in aristocratic gatherings where elegance and indulgence went hand in hand.
