Hello!
I’m very glad that you chose Mearto for your online appraisal. Thank you for your patience and I apologize for the delay,
Considering the photos this item is:

A reproduction of a Chinese archaic ritual vase (Gu-style inspired) that worked as a wine vessel. It is a beautiful piece surrounded by dragons, Chinese powerful symbols of protection. A gu is a type of ancient Chinese ritual bronze vessel from the Shang and Zhou dynasties (i.e. 1600–256 BC). It was used to drink wine or to offer ritual libations.

This piece is in fair condition, with the patina missing in some places. It is, presumably, out of bronze and there is no information on its origins. There is no signature or marks regarding the artist and thus, the niche in the market for this kind of pieces is very limited and not highly appreciated.

PROVENANCE: Inherited.
$ 50 - 250
