Pair of patinated bronze bowls, Asian work (China or Japan) from the late 19th century or around 1900. These pieces are distinguished by a very finely detailed, high-relief decoration depicting major mythological creatures. The Qilin (Kirin): a fabulous scaly animal, symbol of serenity and protection. The Phoenix (Fenghuang): an imperial bird with majestic tail feathers. Secondary decoration: stylized clouds and wave motifs.

The casting is particularly vigorous, with a beautiful original brown patina and golden highlights in places, emphasizing the details of the scales and feathers. The interior shows natural oxidation (verdigris), attesting to the age of the pieces.

Good overall used condition for objects of this period. Beautiful patina, no major cracks. (Please carefully refer to the photos for details of the oxidation and patina). Type: Bowl / Miniature planter / Incense burner. Style: Asian art (Qing / Meiji).

Weight: 0.6 kg each bowl. PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR PREFERRED PICKUP POINT.
