Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1930s:
Stamped MADE IN CHINA in block capitals: export regulation marking applied after 1919.
Central cast seal mark on underside: traditional Republic period workshop identification.
Concentric lathe lines on the base: machine turning standard in early twentieth-century workshops.
Dark oxidised patina inside the bowl: natural ageing from moisture and handling over decades.
Chased Daoist emblems on rim: decorative hand-engraving typical of period Chinese export brassware.

This Independent Date Guide was compiled by Sellingantiques using its own proprietary system. It works only from the photographs shown on this page and is never told the date the dealer has declared. It is a guide, not a guarantee of age, and occasional errors can occur.

FAQs

Chinese brass bowls and basins have historically served both ceremonial and domestic functions, frequently adorned with symbolic engravings such as dragons and phoenixes representing power and prosperity.

These vessels are typically cast from copper alloys, with surface ornamentation applied using hand-chasing, engraving, or repousse techniques before being finished or patinated.

Authentic pieces often exhibit hand-chased decorative motifs, subtle irregularities from sand-casting, natural oxidisation within low-relief areas, and occasionally reign marks cast or etched into the base.

Position the vessel on a sideboard, console table, or desk, elevated on its carved wooden stand to contrast polished brass against dark timber or painted surfaces.

Dust regularly using a soft, dry cloth and refrain from using abrasive polishes or chemical cleaners that could remove natural verdigris and age-acquired patina.
