Chinese Archaisit Cast Bronze Ding Tripod Censer, Early 20th Century, China

About the Item

A well cast Chinese archaistic bronze tripod censer, ding, in the Ming style, Republic Period, early 20th century, China. Heavily cast in the archaistic style, seemingly inspired by Ming Dynasty archaistic bronzes, the ding sits on long tripod legs with cast taotie animal mask faces. The body of bulbous form, cast with two bands of decoration. The top band featuring a series of stylized kui dragons separated by raised flanges. The larger band of decoration with an undulating serpentine pattern with taotie masks between the humps. The exterior of the ding still bearing some of the original lacquer patina. The ding, at type of ritual tripod vessel used for serving food, is an ancient form from China, with precedents dating back to the Shang Dynasty and even further. In later periods, starting in the Song Dynasty, archaic forms such as the ding and gui became associated with the scholar's studio, and were often used as censers or braziers, as this one was.
