Description

Antique Chinese Bronze tripod censer with strap handles, featuring deeply cast six character stamp

of Xuande emperor (1426-1435) to the outer base.
Age is unknown,
possibly an apocryphal piece made during the reign of the Jaiqing emperor (1796-1820) or thereabouts.
To the inner base and cast in relief are again the four character marks of the emperor about the
sinuous head of a dragon or serpent.
Item stands even on its three feet and is without damage
though does exhibit oxidation stains and signs of use.
The censer measures 7.5cm  in diameter and is  5cm high.
The weight is 235gm.
The diminutive size probably indicates it was designed as a portable rather than a temple censer.
Note of research. A censer is a vessel in which incense is burned, especially during religious services. The main purposes of incense burners include fumigating clothing, for sacrifice and to keep a cheerful and tranquil mind during reading. The ancient Chinese believed incense was beneficial for study by appeasing the spirits and inspiring the mind. The earliest vessels identified as censers date to the mid-fifth to late fourth centuries BC during the Warring States period. The modern Chinese term for censer/incense burner “xianglu”, is a compound of incense, aromatics (xiang) and brazier, stove or furnace (lu). Another common term is xunlu (a brazier for fumigating and perfuming).
