Chinese Bronze Vase ID |
Posted By: Tim Posted Date: Jul 31, 2014 (12:04 AM) |
Message Your vase is a modern 20th c. copy in the style of an archaic bronze vase from the western zhou era (about 3000 years ago). The mark looks like a strangely rendered Yongzheng mark of the 18th c., but I don't know of any genuine bronzes with this mark. The criss cross markings on the bottom resemble those created during cast molding of ancient bronzes, but your vase is either loss-wax or sand casted as is evident in your first photo that shows drops of bronze along the criss cross lines...this would never happen in the original molding process.
