Antique Chinese Bronze Brush Washer Foo lions or Dragons Nice Patina

Description

Here is a wonderful, early 18th century Chinese bronze brush washer with dragons or foo lions crawling around the rim.
The heads of two of the three dragons form a 'V' in which a brush can be rested.
There is what appears to be gold incised into many of the recesses of the dragons/foo lions. I have not tested these areas.
The first five photos were taken indoors, and the other seven were taken outside in bright light, but not direct sun. These photos give a good indication of the color range on this item depending on under what conditions it is viewed.
It measures 2- 1/2 inches in diameter, by 1- 1/4 inches high. The mouth hole is roughly 1- 3/8ths inches in diameter.
