Bronze Metal Appraisal

Three-Legged Bronze Ware Creamer

The item is a small, possibly silver-plated, creamer with three distinct legs. The overall appearance is metallic and reflective. The base of the creamer has a prominent raised rectangular mark that reads "GORIHSQ" and below it, "BRONZE WARE". There's also a sticker, partially obscured and worn, indicating "TARNISH PROTECTED" and "Made in Japan." The sticker also has some instructions about cleaning. The three legs on which the creamer rests are relatively short and sturdy, tapering slightly from the body of the creamer down to a flat, circular base on each leg. The bottoms of these legs show some wear and oxidation, appearing duller and less polished than the rest of the creamer. The main body of the creamer itself appears to have some ornate detailing near the top and where the legs attach, though the exact pattern is not fully discernible from this angle. The metallic finish, likely silver plate given the "TARNISH PROTECTED" label common on such items, exhibits some signs of oxidation or wear, particularly visible as darker spots and a less uniform shine in certain areas. The craftsmanship suggests a manufactured piece, likely from the mid to late 20th century, given the 'Made in Japan' mark and the general design. The creamer seems to be in used but fair condition, with visible patina and surface wear consistent with age and handling.
