Subject:inscriptions on bottom of chinese bronze vase
Posted By: manuD Sun, Jan 28, 2018 IP: 82.234.79.138

I am about to buy this vase, the owner says it is chinese, and there are some inscriptions on the bottom of the vase, in sealscript.
The ideal would be to have a translation, but perhaps somebody would recognize this kind of vase, and would know when and where it was produced, and whether it is more than just of decorative value

Size is about 1kg and height 20cm

Your Japanese vase ( the first three character of the inscription are Dai Nippon - 大日本) dates probably from the first quarter or so of the 20th century.

thank you very much. I was trying to read the inscriptions from right to left instead of top to bottom.

Here is a picture of the lower part of the vase, for those who might be interested.
