A LONGQUAN CELADON CENSER IN THE FORM OF A LI-TRIPOD
Song Dynasty

This censer in the form of a li-tripod and covered in green glaze almost resembles a bronze ritual vessel. It has a flat rim mouth, straight short neck, and round body. The body is support by a tripod base. The glaze is lush and pristine, which brings the matte green tones to life. Two cracks are visible at the mouth. Three holes are featured on the bottom of the censer. The lid is made of white silver metal and is decorated with hollowed-out carvings of plum blossom and bamboo leafs. Delicate and gorgeous, this piece is extraordinary. Signs of oxidation are visible on the lib, probably an effect of being exposed to smoke over the years.
