[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 82700, member: 118"]Listed it last night and offers started right away. The best one so far is 2k. I did some research prior to listing and got to the conclusion that the piece is not of significant age and importance. The shape is a bit off compared to the other examples I saw online. The halberd ears censers usually have more squat and bulbous bodies. The Chinese bronze incense burners are usually marked on the base, a lot of them with auspicious Xuande and other Ming seals. Here I have two symbols/characters at the center of the interior bottom. I am not able to translate them but I suspect they could be Ancient bronze script, but not from the period they represent. Did I rush the listing and should I have done more research? Maybe asked an auction house? I still doubt the piece would bring much more than the best offer I have so far but I've seen some old censers fetching 100k and more. 131613590683[/QUOTE]
