[QUOTE="kardinalisimo, post: 56354, member: 118"]The picture on the wiki was uploaded by the same person as on the shutterstock site. It is by the photographer Nikodem Nijaki. It says source: own work , that I guess would mean that he took the photo by himself. From the pictures in his portfolio seems like he is a not a collector of Asian items. So, I guess he must have taken the photo in a museum or an exhibition. Of course he could have bought it from a flea market because he liked it or saw it in a friend's place or so. I wrote him an email to check if he knows more about the vessel but no reply yet. I found on wiki about the Chinese bronze inscriptions/scripts. [URL]http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_bronze_inscriptions[/URL] Of course the list with the examples is not complete but I guess there will be other sources with more examples of the scripts. I just don't know if it's worth further investigation. According to the wiki link: "Early bronze inscriptions were almost always cast, while later inscriptions were often engraved after the bronze was cast" I am not sure what is the case on mine pieces.[/QUOTE]
