Title: Late Ming, Early Qing Joss Candle stick? Phoenix Candle Stick?
Post by: smak on Jun 04, 2018, 21:07:26
Hi all,

Need your help!

How old is this?
What is this for? What was this used for? Rituals? Was this from a temple?
How rare/ common is this?

Thanks,
Smak

Candle holder. Unfortunately, it seems to be a fake. Colors, decoration and shape do not look traditional Chinese. The base looks unnatural like many fakes.

Wow Peterp,

I was fooled, the color looks sorta correct. Still have lots to learn!

Thanks again,
Smak
