Subject:Chinese Mark's on bronze censer
Posted By: Cam Sat, Mar 21, 2020 IP: 2603:9001:4707:3161:

Can someone please translate this mark for me? Identify period Dynasty. Thank you!

In standard kaishu characters, the seal script (zhuanshu) mark reads from the top right down and across as "永存珍玩" (Yong cun zhen wan), "Precious trinket for all time". The mark can be found in conjunction with a few Chinese language auction reports online, but considering the number of fakes in the market, I'd recommend you show additional pictures besides the mark to help one of the forum bronze-collecting experts opine when the censer was made.

Best regards,

Bill H

Thank you. I'm adding a few photos hoping someone can identify age.
