A handsome small bronze vase in the classical Chinese baluster form, with a flared trumpet mouth, slender waisted neck, and pedestal foot. The surface carries a richly mottled simulated-archaic patina in tones of verdigris green, ochre, and rust — evoking the look of excavated ancient bronzes prized by Chinese scholars and collectors. A perfectly scaled object for a desk, mantel, bookshelf, or curio cabinet. Lovely on its own, or paired with a single stem.
