Chinese Arcaistic Style Cast Bronze Lidded Urn with Carved Jade Finial
About the Item
This 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 that is most likely itself somewhat older than the urn and used to add grace and charm to the total package. The jade is carved representing a boy riding an elephant holding a buddas hand fruit. We feel this base, lid and finial were all made and placed with the urn circa 1920 and 1925. This comes from a collection of Chinese bronze urns formed in Virginia in the 1940s that we have been trying to purchase since first encountering the collection in the early 2000s.
