Vintage reproduction Chinese Bronze Ritual Wine Ewer Pitcher verdigris finish

We do not know the exact content of the metal and suggest this piece is for display only. Stunning bronze reproduction is in excellent condition. It is finished in a ‘distressed verdigris patina’. It stands 9 ½” tall and weighs 1 ¾ pounds. Research shows the original of this piece most likely dates to the Qing dynasty, late 18th to early 19th centuries. Ewer was purchased at an estate sale where the owners traveled extensively to China and the Middle East in late 1990s to very early 2000. We have not determined the meaning of the symbols or the mark on bottom.
