16th-17th Century Chinese Ming Dynasty Fu Dog Censer Incense Vase

About the Item

This is a rare Chinese Ming Dynasty bronze Fu Dog figural bronze tripod lidded censer used for incense. It has a Fu Dog or Qilin figural top lid with superbly carved details.

There are a few light marks and dints to the body and one handle has been repaired at the joint. Otherwise it is in very good condition considering its age. The qilin is a legendary Chinese mythological hooved chimerical creature that is said to appear with the imminent arrival or passing of a sage or illustrious ruler.
