Item Details

Description

Early Pair Chinese Archaic Bronze Rare Ritual Wine Zun Vessels Signed with Bird & Dragon Forms

Probably Zhou Dynasty Circa 1000 – 200 BC

There was evidently some early repair work done to these pieces, more substantial around the neck on one, and a minor fill in the neck and under foot of other, as seen in our close-up photos. We believe they were also cleaned at that time, otherwise they would be much more heavily patinaed on the surface, as they are under base and, in one case, inside at the bottom. This pair is decorated in panels with what appear to be primarily bird forms, with some which may be archaic period representations of dragons, on a ground pattern of tight spirals. Inside at the bottom, each is clearly signed. There is a slight variation in height, but the diameter of each is very close.

Approximate Dimensions: Height: 11.25 ” and 11.5”, Diameter: 9.5”

Condition

Evidence of early repair to these pieces, with significant wear to the edges, as expected with artifacts of this age. There are several pinholes near the lip of the piece with more extensive repairs, and one slightly larger, but still miniscule hole near the patched area on the other.
