Details

This is not a reproduction... Antique censer crafted as a ding (ceremonial tripod cauldron) featuring dragons around body, chilong handles, beast face feet, and a qilin finial on its pierced lid. Marks on underside claim Xuande Ming dynasty origin, likely from Qing dynasty. The item and description are from a very reputable auction house where I obtained this piece. The appraised value is up to $2000.00.
