    I have attached a number of photographs which I sincerely hope will enable your experts to identify and possibly value this object.

    The only information I have is shown below and comes from an old inventory of belongings on file.

    "Oriental bronze vase? with hexafoil body and tall cylindrical neck, modelled with figures in full relief depicting the eight immortal Sennin each holding their various attributes, 18 inches high, weighing 11.8 kilos, on wooden stand, possibly Korean or Japanese?

    Any help would be much appreciated.

      Really nice vase I wish I could help with i don't have much knowledge on bronzes or books. The vase shapes is called a Garlic Necked Vase. But I would say its Chinese since the eight immortal Sennin each holding their various attributes is Chinese mythology.
