Totally lost on this old looking Chinese Bronze Censer. Very old looking worn aged Patina including major wear and use in its interior. Heavy 5 plus pounds measuring 5 inches high with a 4.5 inch diameter mouth. Looks to be one piece molded with thick walls both bowl and 3 inch base. Beast Heads have all their features finely hand engraved including their mouths. Rough deep base having a molded hole in the middle filled in with bronze. Has (3) handmade rivets possibly of bronze or copper that are very old and look to be an old repair. Looking at the indentation between the bowl and the base there is a very tight wavy line that looks to be an old crack thats not very long and could be the reason for the old repair. There is no identification Marks anywhere on the Piece. Would Love to know how old this is and any other information you knowledgeable Collectors might know. Thank You! Knutz
