A CHINESE GILT DECORATED BRONZE VASE

拍品描述

This elegantly proportioned bronze vase showcases a narrow beaded-rimmed neck that broadens into a plump ovoid body before tapering toward the base. Luxurious gilt ornamentation adorns the dark aged bronze surface, featuring lush winding floral sprays with layered petals, full foliage and fruit motifs dominating the midsection. Supplementary gilded scrollwork decorates the neck, while scalloped gilt trim neatly outlines the foot. Measuring 9.5 cm both in length and width with a height of 18 cm, the vessel weighs 380 g. Warm gleaming gold detailing creates striking contrast against muted bronze patina, demonstrating refined gilding techniques and rendering the vase a graceful addition to collections of ornate Chinese metalware.
