Chinese Porcelain Turquoise Glaze Vase Phoenix Dragon Chasing Flaming Pearl Qing
Antique Chinese porcelain vase decorated with a beautiful Turquoise crackle monochrome glaze, together with its wood stand. The main body is modelled in relief with a phoenix and dragon chasing a flaming pearl. The mid section has a Chinese symbol at the centre of 5 bats. This vase was made in the Qing Dynasty or earlier. This vase came to us as a lamp. It appears to have been converted into a lamp in the 1930’s. We removed the lamp parts. It will cost more to include the lamp parts, as the package will need to be larger. The vase is just under 13 inches tall, or about 32.7 cm tall (without the wood stand). It weighs about 2.377 kg (without the wood stand). Both the vase and base have been drilled at the base (to make them into a lamp). The vase also has a chip on the outside edge of its foot rim, which has been filled and poorly coloured. Otherwise the vase is fine, no other chips, cracks or repairs. Track Page Views With.

Sultan of Brunei Bronze Kettle Naga Dragon Labi Turtle Koi Crabs Chinese Borneo
BRUNEI CEREMONIAL BRONZE KETTLE WITH CHINESE SYMBOLS. Excellent and rare ceremonial kettle. This is a museum quality work of art. The kettle is decorated with symbols of a dragon, snakes, koi fish, crabs, and a turtle. This may have been used as a dowry item. It is the most detailed example I have seen. Even the underside is highly decorated suggesting ownership by an affluent family. There is Chinese influence within the symbols. The size is 5.5 x 11 x 8 inches. The condition is excellent with traces of oxidation and one small hole on the underside next to one of the feet. The hole is not visible in the picture because there is now a small hole where there used to be oxidation near one of the legs. The age is guaranteed to be mid 19th century or earlier. The oxidation suggests it might be earlier than 1850’s. This kettle is made of bronze or brass or some other copper mixed alloy. It is heavy and not zinc or spelter metal. There is a nice copper patina which I have not seen on other examples as well. Thank you for this opportunity to do business with you.
