    Hello, I believe I have an Asian censer. My question is how old do you think it is? It looks like it has some ancient chinese writing. Im trying to figure out if its contemporary or antique. Thank you for any information, I have never had one of these before.

      Just to be clear. This is NOT 3000 years old but a museum repro.

      The 350-character inscription on its inside pleasingly compliments the vessel's design. The inscription narrates the state of Zhe's failure to invade the state of San, as well as San's subsequent annexation of a portion of Zhe's land. The text precisely details the land transferred as well as the names and ranks of officials involved in the enforcement of the agreement. The states of San and Zhe were closely linked during the Western Zhou period, including by marriage in times of peace. This vessel was meant to leave a lasting record of San's successful territorial defense and subsequent restitution.
