    Hi All,

    Can anyone tell me anything about these?

    I'm quite sure they are bronze censers but am not sure whether they are Japanese or Chinese or roughly how old they are.

    Im thinking sometime last century.

    Thanks!

    Chinese censers, late 19th century, imo.
    (You can still censor the title.:))

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    Those are very cute... are they water buffalo? If not, what kind of beast is being depicted?

    Yes, they are, a popular subject, linked to one of the immortals, but can't remember which one. Wonky legs, but that adds to the naive charm.
