Subject:Signed Bronze Vase Age/ID?
Posted By: andrea Sat, Apr 15, 2017 IP: 2601:0643:0002:9040:

I found this solid bronze vase at an estate sale. I was hoping somebody could help me identify the mark and approximate age. Any info would be much appreciated. Thank you.

If nobody can identify the mark, any information at all would still be helpful. I don't even know if it is Chinese or Japanese...

Hoping somebody can at least tell me what language the mark is written in? Thank you 😊

You might try posting better pictures. I can't even tell what the subject of the decoration is. Some close ups might help.

Cheers,
Stan

It's not a shape I have seen in Chinese objects before even though the deciration seems Chinese. The mark on the base is also unusual for anything Chinese. If meant as cherry blossoms, that would suggest a Japanese origin, but then the rest of the decoration seems Chinese. Perhaps it is Chinoiserie made in Europe
