    I bought these items last year from an estate sale IMG_1598.JPG IMG_1597.JPG IMG_1594.JPG IMG_1599.JPG IMG_1581.JPG IMG_1587.JPG . They look old and weigh around 7 pounds each. Waiting for your comments. Thanks in advance.

    The design is Chinese, ancient, not sure of item's age

    Doesn't appear to be bronze. Looks like some other type of metal from the pics.

    Try the term archaic with your description.

    I am not an expert but it is non-magnetic and it does have the bronze color in some spots.

    I like them. Maybe they are brass?
    They look vintage rather than antique.

    I am not seeing ancient/Archaic Chinese designs. The border motif around the neck of the vase is Persian-inspired, something you often see on Yuan porcelain.
    The scroll motif is a stylized phoenix, but it is to elegant and plant-like to be Archaic.
    The fish motif on the inside of the bowl is also much later than Archaic.

    The phoenix design is a typical Tang dynasty interpretation, your piece is Chinese.

    Thank you for the infos.
    Yes, you are right! The motifs are different from the chinese archaic patterns but I think that the vase is ancient not vintage.
