Am interested in any thoughts about the alloy in this fuchi.  Silver, Gold, copper, etc.  Any thoughts on %s?  Will be able to do some testing on it in a week or two; just curious looking at the pictures where the alloy color fits.

 

yours,

john Twineham

Hi John,

 

It is a gilt, copper based alloy (brass/bronze), the alloy itself is simply a base for the gilding....it has no precious metal content.  The workmanship of the piece is not of a particularly distinguished quality.
