Description:This censer is a very fine example that would date from the later Ming to earlier Qing dynasty, Kangxi period. The censer is made of a superb and authentic translucent white dehua porcelain. It has a nice bombe censer form with finely detailed mask side handles. The censer also has a very finely carved hardwood stand and lid that compliment a...nd display the censer very nicely. The lid also has a very fine and rare natural lavender jadeite fu lion figural finial. I am told just this finial itself could have some substantial value. I have included a picture of an identical censer that Christies sold a few years ago to show the amazing investment potential such examples can have.
Size:The censer itself measures 5 1/2 inches (14 cm) long, 4 3/4 inches (12 cm) wide at the top rim, and 2 5/8 inches (6.7 cm) tall. The censer with lid and stand measures 7 1/2 inches (19 cm) tall. The jadeite finial measures 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) tall, by 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) wide.
Condition:
Very good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Closely inspected under UV black light, this censer reveals absolutely no damage or repairs of any kind. The jadeite finial is also in very fine condition with no damage and no inclusions that I can see.
