I was given this beautiful vase made of possibly bronze about ten years ago from a dear friend that had passed on. I'm not sure what this heavy vase is, it stands about 8 inches tall and i have spent days on in trying to get some information on it.

I was told that the symbols on the bottom might be from the Ming era, but I just don't know.

It has 3d birds on which look like branches. I had been advised not to clean it. Cleaned it must be stunning.

I just became interested in finding out some information on it and if it might possibly be from the Ming era.

I have to say I'm frustrated and don't know which direction to go in for help in finding out more about it.

Can you help me?

Thank you
Sincerely,Adele
