Description
History
Antique Pedestal Singing Bowls are one-of-a-kind masterpieces. The sound bowls are forged in two parts, the bowl itself and the pedestal (hence the name), upon which the bowl is fixed to give it stability and elegance. Their origins and use remain largely unknown. They could have been used for temple ceremonies, musical events or spiritual rituals. They are renowned for their strikingly bright and resonant tones.
About our Pedestal Singing Bowls
Our antique pedestal singing bowls are handmade from bronze in Nepal during the 19th century. Each bowl is a timeless piece of art and a vessel for sound.
Our small collection of pedestal singing bowls features a top diameter ranging from 18 to 19 cm and weighs between 1.1 and 1.4 kg.
Ever wondered what makes pedestal singing bowls different from the others?
Because of its unique stem design, shape, and self-amplifying nature, characterised by its bulbous form, these bowls expand outward at the middle and taper slightly toward the rim. Held by the pedestal, they can be played from any angle — upright, sideways, or even upside down. Their rounded form produces a rich, sustained tone layered with harmonious overtones.
Usage
Pedestal singing bowls are primarily used in sound healing or therapy sessions to promote chakra balancing and create a sense of inner peace thanks to their unique design, ease of use and long-lasting tones. They can also be used to hold ritual items when not in use.

Usage & Benefits
Singing bowls have been used for centuries in Himalayan spiritual and meditation traditions. Today, they're widely embraced in yoga, meditation, sound healing, and wellness practices like Reiki and more.
A recent systematic review of clinical studies suggest singing bowl meditation may support relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and improve sleep quality and helping explain their growing use worldwide.
Traditional Hand-craftsmanship
Our singing bowls are hand-hammered by Newari artisans in Nepal using techniques passed down through generations. Each bowl starts as a flat piece of metal alloys and is gradually shaped, refined, and polished by hand. Depending on the design, it may also be etched or hand-carved with symbolic patterns.
