Bronze Ritual Vessel after the He Zun
Bronze ReplicasPricing depends on size, craft grade and order quantity. Request a quote for your specification.
A bronze ritual vessel cast after the He Zun, with a flared mouth, four vertical flanges and a taotie band at the waist. Cast in Luoyang and patinated to the surface character of excavated pieces.
Cast, not pressed
The vessel is cast, so the flanges and the taotie band carry the depth the original has. Nothing here is stamped from sheet.
Patinated, not painted
The surface is patinated to the character of excavated bronze — green-grey, uneven, with the recesses darker than the raised work.
After a known original
The form follows the He Zun: flared mouth, four vertical flanges, taotie band at the waist, on a ring foot.
Gilding on request
Gilding is available on request where a brighter surface is wanted for a display or a gift programme.

Craft & Materials
Material and casting
The vessel is cast in bronze and finished by hand. Casting is what gives the flanges and the taotie band their depth; the raised work stands clear of the ground rather than sitting on top of it.
Surface and patina
The surface is patinated to the character of excavated pieces — green-grey, with the recesses reading darker than the raised work. Patina varies from piece to piece; a photograph shows the character, not a flat colour reference.
Form and reference
We work from excavated references. Where a piece survives only in fragments, the reconstruction is stated on the quotation so you know what is documented and what has been completed by us.
