Product Overview
Material: Eco-friendly papier mâché (recycled paper pulp molded and layered, reinforced, then lacquered for shine and durability).
Shape & Dimensions: Classic egg/oval form—typically 4-8 inches long, 3-5 inches wide/high (compact for tabletop display or small storage).
Weight: Very lightweight (100-400 grams).
Finish: Glossy lacquer coating with hand-painted intricate designs.
Designs: Vibrant floral motifs (roses, lotuses, poppies), paisley patterns, chinar leaves, birds, vines, or nature scenes in rich colors—often accented with gold outlining for a luxurious feel. Interiors are usually black or red lacquer.
Key Highlights & Craftsmanship:
Handcrafted by skilled Kashmiri artisans using centuries-old methods: paper is soaked, molded into the egg shape, dried, smoothed, painted delicately by hand, and sealed with multiple lacquer layers. Each piece is unique due to the hand-painting—no mass production here!
Cultural Heritage — Rooted in Persian-influenced Kashmiri art, these boxes blend functionality with beauty, evoking the valley’s gardens and serenity.
Versatile Use — Perfect for storing rings, earrings, small treasures, or as pure decor on shelves, vanities, or as a gift box.
Thoughtful Gift — Ideal for weddings, housewarmings, or art enthusiasts—symbolizes Kashmir’s timeless craftsmanship.
Sustainable — Made from recycled materials, supporting local artisans in Srinagar and beyond.
If you’re looking to source one locally in Srinagar (e.g., from Rainawari, Zadibal, or handicraft cooperatives), many artisans make custom egg-shaped versions on request. Online, search for “Kashmiri papier mache egg shaped box” on platforms like Etsy for vintage or similar handmade options.

The craftsmanship is wonderful, but receiving a damaged item was upsetting. They provided a replacement and repairs, but i had to send it back on my own expense and wait for 5 days to get replacement and repairs.
