thank you for this. copper looks pinkish, brass gold-ish (copper+zinc), bronze (copper+tin). In ayurvedic culture copper and brass has more value for it's medicinal value used to make kitchen utensils, where as bronze is largely use for artefacts (:

I wish there was someone that could identify my piece I am quite sure it’s copper I cleaned enough of the oxidation off to reveal flowers in each corner and two inside. I have looked at hundreds of different pieces and have talked to normal people that have no idea what it is or where it comes from, some people have suggested that it came from Sweden or Israel in the early 1900’s. I live in southern Utah it’s hard to find anyone with knowledge.

Brass can be as valuable as bronze though depending on the nature of the item in question. Heavy brass Persian chalices early c19th century for example can fetch pots of money though bronze is undoubtedly a rarer metal used to be found as brass is fairly common so there are exceptions I believe. Anyways, thanks was a great no-nonsense video that helped me that's the main thing.

Can brass discolor to a silver finish? With a hint of brass popping out in areas?

[@quint5256]

I have a pair of 28" vases which I believe are 19th century indian brass similar to the one in this video. Can you help to identify exactly what they are? Thanks in advance, Quint

Had to put captions on because I couldn't understand a word he said. I don't know if he realized that the only time he was near the mic was when he leaned down toward the pieces and then I could hear his mumblings.

I have a similar hindu figure which I thought was bronze, her face and hands are similarly golden. How do you explain the different colours? Rubbing or could it be a mix of bronze and brass?

Hi, I have an chinese antique (I think brass) bowl, but I was wondering if I may be able to send you some photos of it? Maybe you could tell me more about it, I really don't know anything about it. It's would be greatly appreciated.

[@michaeldaniels9985]

The problem with this is that what you are saying is just not accurate. I have bronze pieces with NO bubbles. Also, just because something is bronze it DOESN'T mean that is better quality or more valuable than a brass one. I have seen a BRASS Indian Rada figure of exceptional quality sold for £200,00.

if i were able to identify the difference between the three of them by color, I wouldn't be looking for videos. Sorry but this is a waste of time

[@gunnarthorsen]

....for YOU. There are several ways to determine which metal is which. This video explains one of them. Amazing that you waste so much time looking for answers to questions that you don't have. :)
