These 2 are polished soapstone inlaid with semi-precious (or atleast more precious) stone work. Hinged. The one to the left can contain about 2-3 oz of perfume.
This kind of stone inlay work is made famous by similar work in the interiors of the Taj Mahal.
These containers are also made by artisans from the same area
This pretty one is also handmade and embellished. The metal is an alloy of many base metals together. I'm going to check how it suits the high concentration of absolutes and essential oils I'm going to put in it.\
These boxes are "bidri" Silver filigree work on a base metal.This small heart shaped one can carry maybe a 1/2 to 1 oz.
About 15$, too much for a little package, I thought.
Maybe once I start perfuming I'll change my mind.
The containers sounds awesome! Brilliant idea
