Default Wootz non-martial objects
Hi everyone,

A while ago I was talking with a blacksmith friend about crucible/wootz blades and he inquired about historical uses of wootz for regular objects.
I've checked all my books and I haven't found any examples beyond powder horns. The only rationale I can see for such objects is aesthetic, not structural/physical.

Has anyone encountered bowls, masks, mirrors of utensils of any kind made in wootz?

Thanks,
Emanuel
