Title: Celadon "bronze" vase
Post by: T. Chan on May 13, 2014, 02:35:54
Dear Peter,
I have a celadon "bronze" vase. I think this could be new, Republic or late Qing probably, but I could be wrong. Could you help me identify it?
Your help highly appreciated.
Thank you.

Regards,
T. Chan

Hi Fazli, well, I have little knowledge about foot rim. Your guess could be right. Hope to hear from others about this. Thanks.

Hi Moska,
No idea. But it looks old. Thick but not that heavy. Should wait for the more experience ones to comment on this.

My personal view is that both foot rim and glaze are suspicious. The latter is not smooth enough, the former looks as if it was "treated". The glaze looks a bit rough. Normally, after firing this should be all smooth.

Yes you are right Peter. The glaze is not smooth. I am suspicious about this too. But it looks old. And the surface of the glaze looks as if the glaze is very thick and almost spongy form when look under magnifier.

It looks suspicious. The glaze did not aged naturally. Looks like a modern reproduction.

Every time when see you a similar object sold at higher than usual price; there will be ten of thousand of newly made related objects out there. I believe it is a reproduction with intention to deceives.
