Subject:Chinese Bronze Censer Ming Marks
Posted By: Martin Hines Wed, Feb 21, 2018 IP: 86.144.219.203

Hello All

I would like your opinion of this rather nice small censer measuring 10 cms high and approx 12 cms at it widest. It has a very nice mark to the base as I have shown, but I have not seen it done in this style before. Is it Ming or something later.

Thank you

It is Ming dynasty Mark but the mark is crudely done and the piece looks to be a modern basic piece with a bad Ming mark applied. That is my take but I'm not expert like many on here. Hopefully someone else comments and let's you know more.
Regards John

The seal mark and the design looks very contemporary.
