Very Late 18th-Early 19th Century Cast Bronze Chinese Archaistic Vessel
About the Item
This Chinese cast bronze urn was made to pay honor to the fine vessels produced in the Shang, Zhou and Han periods. This work cast in the late 18th into the early 19th century (circa 1790-1800) has an excellent patina which seems original but could have been acquired after casting. The finely cast details are of particular interest. The larger elements are chisel sharp and very crisp. Note in photo 5 and 7 the very fine bands of continuous borders to be seen at the top and bottom of the bulbous part of the urns body. This decorative border is in very low almost minute detail and cast as a textural play of design across the surface of the bronze in contrast to the middle crisper worked details. This was purchased in mainland China mid-1940s and the urn has a specifically made base to add stature to the vessel which was made in America in the late 1940s.

- Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade FinialLocated in Hudson, NYThis very finely cast bronze urn in an archaistic form was made in the very late 19th century approximately 1895-1900. Done with an apocryphal feeling to honor the ancient past, the vase is beautifully rendered in low relief in bronze covering almost the entire body of the urn. The predominant features are the divided taotie masks that compose the swelling middle body of the vase and also at the corners of the upper section. Crisp but subtle, the casting is clearly handled with great attention to linear form. The patina is very nice and consists of a modeled golden brown with a slight but very lite Verdigris color. The urn has an old rosewood base and lid that seems to have been purpose made for the object. Finally, the whole is set off with a carved jade finial...Category
