Antique Bowls

Antique Tibetan Singing Bowls from Nepal

Deep, warm, and unhurried. Antique-style singing bowls have a darker patina and a rounder voice than polished bowls, which is why sound healers and collectors seek them out for grounding meditation and long resonance.

We are open about what we sell, because antique buyers deserve honesty. This collection is a mix. Some bowls are genuinely old pieces collected across Nepal and the Himalayan region, with hammer lines softened by time and a tone that has settled over decades. Others are newly made by our artisans in Kathmandu and given a traditional antique finish, so you get the deep look and warm voice of an aged bowl with the flawless structure of a new one. Each product page tells you which one you are looking at, and if it does not, just ask us. We will tell you plainly.

Every bowl in this collection is tested by hand before it ships. If you want to hear the exact bowl you will receive, ask us for a tone video and we will record one for you. You can also try our Singing Bowl Tuner to find the note that suits your practice.

How to choose an antique bowl

Larger bowls (8 to 12 inches) give deeper, longer tones that suit sound baths and grounding work. Smaller bowls (4 to 7 inches) are brighter and easier to carry to classes. If you are buying your first bowl, a medium size around 7 or 8 inches is the most versatile choice. Each product page lists the size, weight, and note.
