About the Item
A small and well cast Chinese archaistic bronze tripod incense burner, censer, late Qing Dynasty, circa 1900, China.
The small censer features a squat and bulbous body, very short neck, and slightly everted mouth, all set on three short feet. The body decorated with a series of lappets cast to the upper half to the body. The lappets cast with a fascinating archaistic abstracted design of a horned taotie mask, or perhaps a pair of sinuous confronting kui dragons. The designs cast in relief against an intricate and exacting lei when (thunder) patterned diaper ground.
Originally used as a censer, the body would have been filled with sand or ash, and used to burn incense.
The interior blackened from use, also showing water marks and associated patination. The exterior with a lovely honey bronze patina.

A small and interesting cast bronze archaistic scholar vase with loose ring handles and taotie mask design, late Ming or early Qing Dynasty, mid 17th century, China.
The small vase of archaistic hu form, and cast with archaistic designs. Sitting on a tall splayed ring foot, the round body is cast with a large band featuring a ferocious taotie (ogre) mask.
