This large, thick and heavy Chinese longquan celadon tripod censer is dated from Ming dynasty. It glazed has blue-ish tint rather than the typical green of celadon. The firing crack in the center of the incense burner happen naturally during kiln firing and cooling down. The crack is short and this thick censer is still very strong structurally. It add a "Wabi sabi" character to this censer as it shows trace of two previous owner restorations. There's also one padded foot to restore the balance of the censer as the thick celadon glaze accumulated on the bottom of the other two feet.
