Subject:Pair of Chinese bronze brush pots?
Posted By: Gerry Gorman Fri, May 30, 2025 IP: 86.44.18.252
Asking for a friend. Pair of bronze two handled brush pots (I think). Very well cast and ornate. Lotus flowers, butterflies, 6 inches high. Can't make out the mark. Might be something about Shanghai. Any comments are always welcome. Gerry

Hi I.Nagy,

Thanks for your feedback and info. Today, I managed to handle the pots in person and I believe they are copper and not bronze and the mark is as you have identified. I assume that would be the maker? Any idea on age? Gerry
