Tibetan Singing Bowls

I have been collecting and selling Tibetan singing bowls for 12 years now and have traveled all over Nepal to find the finest bowls available anywhere. During this time I have seen tens of thousands of bowls and brought home containers filled with hand picked singing bowls. I choose my bowls by quality and by price. I know that not everyone can afford a 20 inch masterpiece quality bowl, so i try to find a balance of quality unique bowls in many price points.

Unfortunately over the years I have also seen many people misrepresent the bowls they sell. There are dozens of websites selling 'antique' singing bowls claiming they were made in the 17th century. These claims are simply false. Nepal closely regulates antiques and it is illegal to take antiques out of the country. Many of the bowls sold as 'antique' are 40 to 100 years old, what we call our older bowls. These are bowls of a certain quality that you cannot find today. These older bowls have great character, great artistry and unique tones. I think that bowls should be classified by these attributes, and not by the 'antique' label.

At the dharmashop we sell hand cast bowls in our singing bowl gift sets, new hand hammered bowls that are made entirely by hand and hand tuned. we also sell older bowls that have been collected through many trip to Asia and are getting much harder to find as metal prices go up and the number of older bowls out there simply dries up.
