Antique Polearm Battle Axe Ax Weapon Asian Chinese Dragon Fish Spear Sword

Antique Polearm Battle Axe Ax Weapon Asian Chinese Dragon Fish Spear Sword

Antique Polearm Battle Axe Ax Weapon Asian Chinese Dragon Fish Spear Sword
Here is what looks to me to be a very old Polearm battle axe. The overall length is 33-1/4. It weighs about 6 lbs. The main shaft with the bayonet/ sword and receiver is made of iron. The dragon fish part is made of brass or bronze. The axe blade in the fish’s mouth is iron. The iron parts are rusty. The base/ receiver has rusted through in a spot. The fish shows a dark patina. The iron is still basically very solid. I see no makers marks on this item anywhere. The dragon fish has an Asian look to it. The item “Antique Polearm Battle Axe Ax Weapon Asian Chinese Dragon Fish Spear Sword” is in sale since Thursday, April 14, 2016. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Knives, Swords & Blades\Axes & Hatchets”. The seller is “schnookface” and is located in Bountiful, Utah. This item can be shipped worldwide.

ANTIQUE CHINESE QING DYNASTY FIVE-CLAWED DRAGON YELLOW GLAZED BOTTLE VASE
A stunning vase with classic Chinese imagery from the Qing Dynasty. The form is a very nice tall bottle shape that is enameled in grisaille with a five-clawed dragon chasing a flaming pearl against a yellow ground. The yellow has a nice rainbow shimmer when viewed from an angle under natural light – indicative of period Qing yellow glazes. The base is glazed in the same yellow as the body and is unmarked. The footrim reveals a very fine white paste. The interior of the vase retains a natural build-up of accumulated dust that takes many decades years to achieve. There are no cracks, but the neck has been reduced and there is associated wear around the mouth rim – please see images. Please let us know if there are any questions.
