Questions About Antique Japanese Bronze
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    One way to tell if your bronze is antique is to study its color. As it ages, bronze develops a natural patina, darkening in color. As a result, shiny, light-colored pieces are unlikely to be antiques. Another approach is to research the maker using trusted online resources to find out when they produced bronzes similar to yours. For assistance with the dating process, seek the help of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Explore a selection of bronze sculptures on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    The metallic finish known as antique bronze boasts a profound, dark chocolate finish that nearly approaches black. The antique bronze color is primarily a color from the brown color family.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 8, 2024
    To tell if your Japanese pottery is antique, look for markings, which usually appear on the bottoms of pieces. If you see the word "Nippon," your piece was likely produced between 1891 and 1921, making it an antique. Pieces marked with the words "made in occupied Japan" originated between 1945 and 1952 and are vintage, based on their age. A "made in Japan" marking may indicate a vintage or contemporary piece. If you don't see any of these markings, consult trusted online resources to get a rough idea of when your pottery was produced. Any piece that dates back 100 years or more is antique. Should you encounter difficulty with the dating process, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer can assist you. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of Japanese pottery.
