Antique CHINESE BRONZE BOWL CENSER With CALLIGRAPHY
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:2335492 |
Fine antique Chinese bronze censer or chalice form bowl.This classic form measures 7" high and 6" wide at top.It is quite heavy at 4 pounds and has a column of Chinese calligraphy down two sides of the slender middle (see photos).It has some condition issues, most notably a big dent to the foot which causes it to sit crooked.
There is verdigris damage to the finish and some very small brown splash stains.There are some small dents and dings and scratches.For all that, it is a beaut...iful bronze bowl or censer in a most unusual form. The calligraphy down two sides is also unusual.
I bought this with a smaller bronze piece with similar form but no calligraphy.The last photo here shows both pieces together.
Perhaps the calligraphy will help explain both of these bowls.Not certain of age but most likely from the 19th century, perhaps earlier.
They are being sold separately with no reserve.
Questions always welcome and thanks for looking.Always happy to ship to China.
