Details
A LARGE GILT-SPLASHED BRONZE 'PHOENIX-TAIL' VASE
EARLY QING DYNASTY, 17TH-18TH CENTURY
The body is finely cast in high relief with three lion masks alternating with mythical beasts above a row of bosses on the lower body and below a petal-lappet band on the shoulder. The trumpet neck, with widely flared rim, is flanked by dragon handles above two bow-string bands. The vase is liberally splashed in gilding in contrast to the 'antique' patina, and there is an apocryphal Xuande four-character mark cast within a rectangle on the base.
22 ½ in. (55.8 cm.) high
