Our huqqa base used to be decorated in enamel as indicated by the small punch marks occasionally found on the body. The design on the main body and neck relates to an enamelled example from the late 18th Century in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (inv. no. I.S.122-1886), see Mark Zebrowski, Gold, Silver & Bronze from Mughal India, 1997, pl.74, p.87.
