Looks Chinese to me and quite old.

Yes Chinese and cast in one piece, look very close at the script and it becomes obvious that they are not stamped. I think this from a Chinese trading ship.

So you think the symbols are Chinese? I thougt that the symbols are too rounded(curved?) to be Chinese. Just guessing

What makes you guys think that this is not just another faked antique from China ?
