    Hi to all...
    Here is ...After some cleaning...This small Oriental bronze Vase (Which had a small Kick on the edge...Easy to fix I think...???) Nicely decorated with bamboo carving I think..??
    Well...Very decorative and for sure Oriental...Now..Is it Chinese ,Japanese or where else..??? For me beautiful work ,I think 19th cent...??? With lions feet...
    Size is very small...9CM H
    Thanking you for usual research and expertises..

    The way the lions are depicted, and the clean brass look, come across as European, so maybe Japonisme/Chinoiserie? Aesthetic movement?
    A sweet vase, whatever its origin.

    It is just before Art Nouveau, and the designs often had an East Asian influence.
