Bronze anvil have anvil:2 and requires a tool with anvil:1 to craft.
Regular (steel) anvil have anvil:3 and **does not** require a tool with anvil to craft. At all. Other requirements are pretty much the same, except the materials obviously.
Oversight or intended?

I thought the bronze anvil was from a mod, but maybe you’re right and it’s an oversight. At the same time though all anvils are cast and shouldn’t need an anvil to make.
Though it’s been a long time since I worked in a metal shop so I could be misremembering.

There are large rocks that I -believe- have anvil 1 quality.

Yes, but the problem is steel forge have better quality and doesn’t require that quality to make while bronze forge is worse and does require it.

I think I vaguely recall noticing something like this when I was looking into making my own anvil. I thought it was weird but didn’t really think much else of it.
