Description
Offering an antique Chinese Blue and White Porcelain censer. This beautiful, vibrant, and substantial piece has the popular motif of dragons chasing a pearl. It is decorated with four 5 claw dragons confronting a flaming pearl . The top of the censor has a ruyi band. Underneath the dragons are waves. On the interior is a single dragon chasing a flaming pearl.
The wood base is a burner with a raised lip rim and rounded carved sides siting on 4 beautifully curved legs.
The bottom of the censer has 4 marks. A close up is shown. It appears to be a Qianlong Nianzhi mark from the 1800’s.
CONDITION:
This is a beautiful piece in wonderful condition. The censer itself has no chips cracks or flakes. Around the rim there is one spot of irregularity – an imperfection under the glaze. A close up photo is shown.
The wood burner base is phenomenal with no cracks, chips, or breaks. It is elegantly carved with nicely curved legs. It has a natural finish that does have some fading commensurate with age. It appears to possibly be Zitan wood.
