    IMG_1706.jpeg IMG_1719.jpeg IMG_1708.jpeg IMG_1713.jpeg IMG_1707.jpeg IMG_1710.jpeg Hi all, I found a very similar one being described as an Antique Incense burner from Tibet- 3 headed snake. Iam just hoping it’s maybe vintage and it wasn’t made last month ( but who knows with these items,Im not holding my breath) It’s a very visually attractive thing and difficult not to buy. This inside has a thick wax layer and there also looks to be some clay residue (must be residue from the casting process?) It stands 33cm tall,the bowl area is 29cm wide and weighs 2kg. So what do you all think? Many thanks for any comments

    I agree, the style is Thai, could also be Laos or Cambodia.
    Definitely not Tibet.

    Thanks. Appreciate that. To be honest I wasn’t sure at all. If it was more money then I would have probably left it..

    Possible age of this? Vintage or Antique? Has a great look. Seems they are still being made. Some also listed as vintage others as ‘proper’ antique? Can I safely assume definitely at least vintage for this?
