Description

With a plump-rim lid, the incense burner has a globular body perfectly matched up the upper half-sphere lid and the other half-sphere belly.

The vault of the lid is carved with openwork , also resembling geometric four-petal design to let the incense smoke drifting out. The burner’s body is attached to the girdled waist and a short neck, supported on a splayed pedestal formed in the shape of a compressed bronze bell and carved with openwork of begonia-shaped pattern along with embossed rings. The exterior of the burner is covered in white glaze; while the interior is exposed.
