<p>[QUOTE=&quot;User 67, post: 10977, member: 67&quot;]Asking what it is suppose to look like to be Japanese is like asking what an orange is suppose to look like if it were a root vegetable. It is suppose to not look like what it actually looks like. There are many classic forms of Japanese bronze vases, and this doesn&#039;t look like one to me.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is too tall and skinny, like one of those melted coke bottles they used to sell at the fair. The bottom stacked moldings look European (ogee), not Japanese, like something they do in India exports.</p><p><br /></p><p>When you look at photo 2, the black areas look like a bad antiquing, while the brown looks like a traditionally applied patina that they used in those old Japanese bronzes.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
