Stunning big antique bowl has all the boxes checked. Thick but even rim, warm antique golden patina, covered in hand hammer marks and wonderful line work around the rim and in the bottom of the bowl. One of the coolest features of this bowl outside of the sound is a small inscription in Tibetan Sanskrit, right beneath the rim of the bowl.

Each Antique Himalayan Singing Bowl carries a story that extends far beyond modern sound practice. These bowls were hand-hammered using traditional methods and metal alloys common throughout the Himalayan regions, but unlike contemporary singing bowls, they were originally created for everyday use. Many served as household eating dishes or communal vessels before later being recognized for their resonant acoustic qualities.

Over time, these utilitarian bowls revealed their naturally rich tones and harmonic complexity. Through decades of regular use, handling, and natural aging, the metal structure settled and matured, contributing to the deep, layered resonance these antique bowls are known for today. Every bowl in our collection is estimated to be approximately 80–120 years old, making each one a genuine historical artifact rather than a modern reproduction.

As with all hand-hammered bowls, no two antiques are alike. Variations in thickness, patina, hammer markings, and shape are not imperfections, but evidence of age, authenticity, and lived experience. Their sound profiles tend to be especially complex, with long sustain, evolving overtones, and a grounded, earthy presence that reflects their long history of use. These bowls are ideal for collectors, practitioners, and sound therapy professionals seeking instruments with depth, character, and a tangible sense of lineage.
