Subject:Chinese Bronze Vase Mark
Posted By: Allasan Fri, Dec 29, 2017 IP: 45.37.196.248 I bought a pair of bronze vases at auction and after cleaning them up realized there's a mark--piqued my curiosity. I've spent hours trying to decipher the mark; I believe the first mark is Zhong--the rest I've not had any luck. Maybe I'm wrong about it being Chinese... Any help would be appreciated. |
