Maybe you can suggest one such place because I would definitely want to get a Pesh like this one.

But then, if it were modern or at least recent production, shouldn't we be able to find more such exquisite pieces readily available for sale?! Because if you look at the pieces of recent production, you won't find anything like this.

I have read that there are some craftsmen in India who can still produce high level work, the kind that we would like to own even if completely new, I have also heard that this work is extremely expensive and time consuming, I would imagine that there is a waiting list and most pieces are sold before we would ever see them.

Here is an example made by an Indian named "Soni".
