Subject:Chinese or Japanese Bronze Vase
Posted By: Brett Tue, Jul 19, 2016 IP: 69.119.204.101 Anyone have any ideas about this. It looks like its got a little age, although some things make me think its a modern repro. No mark I can see on the bottom. Thanks for any help.

Posted By: Bill H Wed, Jul 20, 2016 The bottom appears to have been soldered back into the base after breaking out, and might even be a replacement. This and the coppery looking artificial patina are shared in common with some circa 1900 Japanese bronze vases I've seen, which apparently were made with easily removable bottoms to ease their conversion to bases for the recently invented and very popular electric lamps that were coming into vogue at the time. Looks like it may be a late Meiji-Taisho period antique to me, but likely devalued by the repair.

Posted By: Brett Thu, Jul 21, 2016 Thanks that definitely helps, I assumed the same thing about the base seeing the soldering work done on it. Could it have possibly had a mark or did these come unmarked as well?
