Fine Small Chinese Archaistic Bronze Hu Vase – Qing Dynasty, C.19th Century

Fine Small Chinese Archaistic Bronze Hu Vase – Qing Dynasty, C.19th Century Brief Description: This is a charming and beautifully patinated small 19th-century Chinese bronze vase of archaistic Hu form, dating from the Qing Dynasty. Of wonderfully restrained design, the vase has a rounded pear-shaped body rising to a gently waisted neck, flanked by a pair of integral loop handles suspending free-moving bronze rings. The bronze has developed a particularly attractive aged surface, displaying deep brown and olive tones together with reddish patination and occasional traces of verdigris consistent with age. The vase is presented upon a finely turned and carved fitted hardwood display stand, which complements the bronze beautifully. Attributes: Chinese Qing Dynasty 19th Century Archaistic Hu Form Bronze Condition: The vase is offered in good antique condition, with surface wear, variations in colour, patination and areas of oxidation commensurate with its considerable age. There is a small indentation on one side - see images. Importantly, the bronze has not been polished and retains its wonderful aged surface and character.
