清朝是製造仿古銅器的鼎盛期，但無論在用途上，仍是性質上，清代銅器與商周時期的青銅器都是天壤之別的。商周時期，青銅器是貴族世家的標誌，貴族為了弘揚祖德、刻紀功烈，鑄造銅器並記錄在銘文中。清乾隆時期宮中先後設立了銅作和爐作，很多製造各種銅器，以為內廷陳設、佛堂供奉、太廟郊壇等運用。尤以康熙朝宮殿仿古器最盛，這當然與康熙帝博雅好古的性格與情懷有關。其時製造的仿古銅器造型與原器相似，如鼎、觚、爵、壺、碗等。紋飾則有承繼也有創新，器物上常見的紋飾有龍紋、捲雲紋、浪斑紋、花卉紋、變形獸面紋、變形夔紋、回紋，這些紋飾有的在商周青銅器上沒有呈現，有的圖形發生了必定的變化。器物上常鑄有“大清康熙年制”銘文。銅器的鑄造辦法仍然沿襲古代的失蠟法。

The common patterns on the wares are dragon patterns, cloud patterns, wave patterns, flower patterns, deformed animal patterns, deformed kui patterns and back patterns. Some of these patterns are not shown on the shang and zhou bronzes, and some patterns have certain changes. The inscriptions of "the reign of emperor kangxi of the qing dynasty" are often cast on the utensils. The method of copper casting still follows the ancient method of losing wax.
