ANTIQUE CHINESE EARLY Pan Ritual BRONZE VESSEL DISH BOWL - No Markings - Burial

Description

I acquired this from an older relative who told me it was a bronze ritual "Burial Dish"
Dimensions are approx:  diameter 7.5" and height is 1.5 inches
12.5 Ounces
A lot of Patina and Aging to the Dish - I have never tried to clean or wash - as received condition
I did have it looked at by a local Auction House Chinese Specialist - if I remember correctly they said probably 18th Century
and confirmed a "Burial Dish" - they gave me an Auction value estimate of 0 to 00.
There is one minor hairline crack from rim to about one inch down into bowl -
it is not noticeable to the eye so I wasn't able to show in the photos - really the only way to know it is there is to feel with slight pressure in the area - it has no effect on the integrity of the bowl - no movement or roughness and cannot feel when I move my finger over the area - no uneven area to rim either - imperceptible
PLEASE NOTE: two or three days from listing this I have found another hair line crack - my first description noted two cracks - then I changed to one crack because I couldn't find second crack - anyways, long story short, there are TWO MINOR HAIRLINE CRACKS ABOUT 1.5 INCHES APART AND LESS THAN 1 INCH RUNNING DOWN INTO BOWL/DISH - I am leaving my first description above for previous watchers so there is no confusion - thank you and feel free to message with any concerns or questions.  10/30/2022
PLEASE NOTE: STAND NOT INCLUDED - USED ONLY TO PHOTOGRAPH PIECE
