<p>[QUOTE=&quot;journeymagazine, post: 9890151, member: 84&quot;]I found this yesterday at my local thrift along with a chinese ginger jar I posted earlier asking about it&#039;s age - I bought them when the manager told me he&#039;d sell me both for only $20 each.</p><p>I got this one because I thought the fish coming out like 3d on the bottom round part of the vase and a pretty lady hanging off the main part of it was different&nbsp; &amp; definitely cool!</p><p>Can anyone tell me about this piece? (Im guessing Asian because of the fish?)</p><p>I thought it was made of aluminum or pot metal, but a magnet won&#039;t stick to it so I&#039;m assuming it&#039;s made of aluminum?</p><p>I did an image search but nothing&nbsp; exact came up - the closest was a bronze vase, but with the scuffed mark under the lip of the vase that shows silver/metal color, this can&#039;t be a bronze, right?</p><p>Any idea how old it is?</p><p>Any way to make it look better - can I paint it &amp; if so should I use oil or acrylic to be sure it&#039;ll stick?</p><p>Any help or thoughts on what I have would be greatly appreciated!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]496947[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496948[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496949[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496950[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496951[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496953[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496954[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]496955[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496956[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]496957[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
