An early 20th century Indian silver christening mug, by Grish Chunder Dutt, Bhowanipore, Calcutta, embossed and chased with a native village scene, 8cm, 131gm
Grish Chunder Dutt (1872 - 1947), is considered, along with Hamilton & Co, the most important silversmith working in Calcutta. In contrast to the polished and minimal style of Hamilton & Co., Grish style was incredibly elaborated and tactile, often depicting farming life, Indian villages and traditional folklore scenes characterised by a naive taste and a deep sense of perspective.
