Metal Vase (Bronze/Brass, Copper) 1960's? Looking for info.
« on: September 27, 2011, 01:41:13 pm »
Hey everyone,

I recently purchased this piece (see flickr link below) and thought I might share it with the community. I have been unsuccessful gathering info/details on the piece/period and would love any information or direction to help with my search.  I was told that it is from the 1960's...but I'm not 100% on that. There is no signature/label that I have been able to locate.  I am really interested in the history of this type of art/vase/pottery as well as searching for similar pieces.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this piece and any information that you might be able to share on the style, time period, etc.

Thanks!

Noah

I think I just typed hammered bronze vase and it came up. I wish I could help with date/maker. That I am not good at. I don't know stuff, but love hunting for it!  ;)

LOL, Mart! I figure I better do my part. People here have helped me so much with their knowledge. I can at least try to dig...    :D

BEAUTIFUL piece!!! I would contact Stephen Miller Siegel and inquire about the piece in snowflakes link ( good lead snow!!!) as they are a dealer and not the maker of that piece. see if they can tell you who made it.   let us know what you find!!
