Subject:Help translating Chinese Mark on Bronze Censer
Posted By: China Doll Wed, Jan 13, 2021 IP: 2600:1700:b392:4730:

Any help translating the Chinese mark would be most appreciated. Also any opinion as to the age of this would also be of great help. Thank you.

I posted this subject and just realized I had a bronze Chinese vessel with an identical mark that members of this fine forum were kind enough to help me with. To further spread the translation of this mark, I leave you with the responses that I received back then:

玉堂清玩 - Yutang Qingwan - Refined Curios of the Jade Hall. Some bronze wares with this mark were made in the early Qing dynasty.

Another suggested translation of 玉堂清玩 (Yu tang qing wan) as "Elegantly refined trinket of the Jade Hall".
