Posted By: Bill H Mon, Apr 18, 2022 The standard character mark on this bronze reads down and across from the top right as "Da Ming Xuande nian zhi" - "Made during the Xuande Reign of the Great Ming Dynasty". The piece definitely was not made during the Ming Dynasty, because the "De" character used during the Ming era, as shown in the following comparison, lacks a horizontal stroke between its"Eyes" and "Heart" elements: 德/徳 |

Posted By: Warren L. Mon, Apr 18, 2022 Thanks! There's certainly no quality in the piece, especially since there's a major repair from the inside of a tear a couple inches long in the wall. I didn't include a pic of that...but will, if asked. I agree about the secondary casting probability...a piece of junk, destined for the scrap bin. My gratitude, good sir! Warren |
