The object is cast in bronze with traditional character marks to the base, showing subtle tonal gradations in the dark surface. It measures Height 31cm Width at base 8.5cm. Placed on a mantelpiece, the vase serves as an ornamental display item suited to a gentleman's library or a study interior.

FAQs

Maintain patinated bronze surfaces by dusting gently with a soft dry microfibre cloth. Avoid chemical polish, liquid solvents, or abrasive pads, as these permanently remove delicate historic patinas; an occasional coat of clear microcrystalline wax provides surface protection.

A bronze dragon vase serves as a sculptural accent when placed on a sideboard, mantelpiece, or open bookshelf. Positioning dark patinated bronze against light neutral plaster walls or timber joinery highlights its silhouette and detailed relief work.

Authentic antique bronzes feature natural surface wear, subtle variations in oxidisation, and evidence of hand-chasing or lost-wax casting seams. Original examples demonstrate substantial weight and lack modern machine-engraving or electroplated uniform finishes.

Antique bronze vases were created using lost-wax (cire perdue) or piece-mould casting techniques. The detailed ornamentation, such as high-relief dragons and waves, was either cast integrally or hand-chiselled and chased before a chemical patina was applied to protect and darken the metal.

East Asian bronze dragon vases, particularly from the Chinese Qing Dynasty and Japanese Meiji period, are metal decorative vessels featuring three-dimensional motifs of mythological dragons. These vessels were historically produced using lost-wax casting methods to serve as temple display objects, scholars accessories, or export goods.
