18th c. bronze JUE vessel - Help with archaic mark |
Posted By: Tim Posted Date: Jan 12, 2015 (04:13 PM) |
Message I have a bronze wine vessel (jue) with a rather unusual mark on the base. Anyone out there who can translate it? My vessel is identical in size, age, and taotie 'mask' design as one sold by Christie's London, however the Christie's one is missing the capped pillars and there is no mention of any mark. Considering what it sold for, I suspect the Christie's example did not have any markings and perhaps the pillars had broken off. http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/a-chinese-archaistic-bronze-vessel-18th-century-5677218-details.aspx?from=searchresults&&pos=1&intObjectID=5677218&sid=b29daecb-35bd-4c7f-b611-cd30abf94809&page=10&lid=1 Any help offered is much appreciated. Thanks! |
