This is an absolutely incredible Antique Pair of identical solid Bronze urns or vases, that I found at a local antique store! I was told that these are from the turn of the century, which seems correct since I have never seen anything like these! Extremely heavy, super high relief carvings cover every inch of these solid Bronze urns! I am amazed at the artist who sculpted this pair and that the pair is even still together as a set! These are absolutely of Asian descent with what I believe to be peonies sculpted in detail! I was taught that placing peonies outside of your bedroom brings love into your life-which I am sure we could all use more of! These have removable lids that are also very detailed! The handles on each side of the urns remind me of the antique censors and are quite unique! I was super shocked at the weight of these pieces which are very sturdy. They both stand correctly also. I could only find a couple very tiny imperfections...small "chips" to the relief; which most people don't even notice. I am amazed at how well these have survived history and would not be surprised to find out that they are actually much older than what I was told! I did photograph the "chip" so you can see what I believe to be a tiny imperfection on Outstanding Art that is RARE (photo #8)! These are something that I would expect to see in a museum! I could not locate a signature, but these are so intricately sculpted that it could be hidden among the detail! These are 11 1/4 inches tall with their lids and about 9 inches without their lids! These are 3 1/4 wide at their base & are 5 inches wide at their widest point! They are 2 inches thick at the base & about 3 inches thick at their widest! I have not weighed these because they feel as if they would break the scale! Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like additional pictures! Best offers are always welcome! Thanks for your interest in my items & please check back often for "new" additions! With Gratitude~Hippiejensoul-Peace, Love, & Light!
