Antique Dragon Urn
Ranked #14,578 in Arts & Design, #289,622 overall
Does Anyone know what this is?
This urn is 12 1/2 inches tall and very heavy. It has a full bodied dragon entwined around it. It might be bronze and made in the 1800s, but I don't know for sure. Has anyone seen anything like this before? If so, do you know what it is? There is some sort of red mark on the bottom, but I can't make it out. (See last photo)

- Its a Japanese relief worked Bronze vase with raised and applied dragon. This form is typical of theMeiji period and laster. I suspect your was made circa 1885 to 1900. Hope this helps.
