About the Item
This 18th-century Kangxi period blanc de chine Chinese porcelain tripod censer is an exemplar of refined craftsmanship and intricate detailing, hallmarks of the Kangxi era. The censer is crafted in the blanc de chine technique, known for its milky white, translucent porcelain, which lends the piece an ethereal quality.
One of the standout features of this censer are the elephant handles, each masterfully sculpted to capture the majestic essence of the animal.

The censer is raised on monster and paw feet, a design element that imbues the piece with a sense of dynamism and grandeur. These feet are not merely decorative but are deeply rooted in Chinese mythology, often symbolizing protection and power.
Adding to the censer's authenticity and uniqueness is an impressed flower mark on the bottom. Overall, this Kangxi period blanc de chine tripod censer is a sublime marriage of artistic mastery and cultural symbolism. Its exceptional form and detailing make it a highly collectible piece, worthy of any connoisseur's collection.
