“Occasionally, silver made in Kashmir was enamelled in the same manner as the locally made copper wares. (…) The bright colours used in the enamel work were intended to imitate the precious or semi-precious stones that were sometimes used on more expensive pieces.” Wilkinson, W., (1999)., Indian Silver 1858-1947: Decorative Silver from the Indian Sub-Continent and Burma Made by Local Craftsmen in Western Forms. London, Wynyard R T Wilkinson, P. 106.
