Beautiful pair of Chinese bronze/brass double-gourd vases (hulu shape), richly decorated in relief with scenes of children, flowers and auspicious symbols. The double-gourd form is traditionally associated with longevity, prosperity and good fortune in Chinese culture. Both vases feature detailed cast decoration and have developed an attractive natural blue-green patina over time. The bases bear cast Chinese character marks. Condition Good overall antique condition with age-related wear, surface oxidation and verdigris consistent with age and material. No major structural damage observed. Please examine all photographs carefully as they form part of the description.
