Mini
Mini Mani and tiny singing bowls are rare items. Since making a tiny bowl is a lot more labor for the size compared to a large one that would fetch more money the old bowl makers shied away from them. Bowls under 4 inches are well under 1% of what collectors are able to gather from the countryside each year. Most of these are the straight sided Thadobati and Remuna styles, Manipuri and Pedestal are extremely rare under 4 inches. The also rare Mini Mani style is under 5 1/2 inches.
