Hi firstly, apologies for being so quiet these last 12 months, had a lot going on personal and work related. I've also been doing a full top to bottom renovation on the house. I've still being doing plenty of collecting so i'll start a few new threads with the more interesting stuff! First up a lovely little Chinese bronze. Measures a meagre 8cm across. All hand crafted, somewhat crudely when you look at the inside and under the lid. Not shown this to any specialists yet as still researching. Bought from an antiques dealer in France early 70's as an early piece. Still smells of incense and hasn't been used for a good 50 years!

Cool, did you have questions or just showing off a favorite piece? What did you pay for it?
-
From what I see I would say no older than mid century !!~
-
Oh wow, this piece looks amazing. I am sure that this is it a bit pricey considering its age.

AWT,, we hope you stay a while !! I did wonder where you went but hey,, I just figured you had to work a little so you could buy more old stuff !!
Welcome to the forum buenavides1 !! I didn`t see an intro from you but we hope you enjoy it here !!

Thanks for the replies everyone, I purchased from the original buyer for about £40-50 cant't quite remember. I was really looking to get a date as i know its pre 70's but after having looked through literally hundreds of images over the last few days i haven't come up with much except the style of feet appears on a number of early ones... Any thoughts greatly appreciated! More items to follow...
