An antique Chinese brass urn is a decorative vessel that was made in China, typically during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). Brass was a popular material for decorative objects in China during this time, and brass urns were often used as display pieces in wealthy households.

The urn has been hand-crafted by skilled artisans using traditional techniques and is made from high-quality brass that has been left with a more natural patina. The urn is decorated with intricate designs, including Chinese motifs, and other traditional symbols.

Antique Chinese brass urns were often used as decorative pieces in homes and public spaces, such as temples and palaces. They were prized for their beauty and craftsmanship and were often passed down through families as treasured heirlooms. Today, antique Chinese brass urns are highly sought after by collectors and antique dealers for their historical and aesthetic value. They can be quite valuable, particularly if they are in good condition and have not been heavily restored or altered.
