This is another small version of bucket (vaali) in the enamel ware category. Made in Czechoslovakia in the early 20th century. Thick embossed flowers surrounding and top of it. The size is very rare in the market. It is only 9 inches in height. This was used by the Tamil community in those days for carrying sweet & savoury cookies. Bought in Penang and there is some Tamil words inscribed on it.
