Bidri ware derives its name from the city of Bidar in the Deccan. They were cast from a zinc, copper and tin alloy, to which varying proportions of lead were added. The vessels were then inlaid with a metal of choice, predominantly silver, as on the present candlestick and tray, which in its design is close to a hookah base in the Jagdish & Kamla Mittal Museum of Indian Art (Jagdish Mittal, Bidri ware and Damascene work in Jagdish and Kamla Mittal Museum of Indian Art, Hyderabad, 2011, pp.104-5).
