Message:: [QUOTE="Gus Tuason, post: 4237948, member: 10012"]I've had this bronze vase for at least 10 years . The base is 2 -3/8" in diameter and as you go up it widens to approx 4 - 1/2"; then it narrows to 1 - 5/8" at the mouth. There is a <a href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS689US689&sxsrf=ALeKk02NsyjyEsniUwDsPAJmvAyWXJ6aKQ:1624991401435&q=chrysanthemum&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjo4vrZvL3xAhVxHjQIHQP3Dl0QkeECKAB6BAgBEDI" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS689US689&sxsrf=ALeKk02NsyjyEsniUwDsPAJmvAyWXJ6aKQ:1624991401435&q=chrysanthemum&spell=1&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjo4vrZvL3xAhVxHjQIHQP3Dl0QkeECKAB6BAgBEDI" rel="nofollow">chrysanthemum</a> (?)  on either side. It stands approx. 6" tall. It does have wear on the bottom. At the top there are seven rivets on either side of the opening; 14 in all and they are a part of the casting. There are also 2 horns at the top. I took numerous pics of the characters on the bottom but I don't know which way is up. Has a nice reddish brown patina. Has a dent in the lip of the hole at the top. Comments?
