BRÛLE-PARFUM EN BRONZE PARTIELLEMENT DORÉ
CHINE, XVIIÈME SIÈCLE
De forme applatie reposant sur un pied circulaire, la panse est ornée de lions bouddhiques, phénix et autres animaux fabuleux contre un fond de motifs de treillage. Il est muni de deux anses latérales émergeant d'un masque de dragon. La base porte l'inscription Yun Jian Liu Xiaoyi Zuo ('Fait par Liu Xiaoyi de Yunjian').
Hauteur : 6 cm. (2 3/8 in.) ; Longueur : 14 cm. (5 1/2 in.)

Specialist note

The mark Yun Jian Liu Xiaoyi Zuo may be translated, 'Made by Liu Xiaoyi of Yunjian'. This censer is comparable in style with examples made by Hu Wenming, bearing the mark Yunjian Hu Wenming Zhi, who is considered one of the most accomplished craftsmen of the late Ming dynasty. The shape of the incense burner is inspired by an archaic bronze vessel, gui, dating to the Shang or Zhou dynasty.
