    Chinese dynasty bronze Wine vessel goblet wineglass cup ?
    Measures 5 inches tall, Appears to have a glue or resin repair.
    The rim measures 4 1/4 , seems like it would be hard to drink from .possibly it's a vase?

    Any idea what it is actually called? age?

      can you post a shot of the underside?

      The stylized poppy seed pods made me think of opium. I think this is a vessel for storing opium. Don't know who is portrayed on the side, or the reason for the duck(?)

      Thanks for the reply. another thing is, the bottom has a ring of resin as if to seal a leak and also if you look in front of the duck there is also some of the same material.
      It looks to old to be epoxy, or to think why anyone in the modern world would care if it leaked ,unless they used it for a vase. but it seems to small to be vase.
