Item Details
Description
Censer; China, 20th century.Porcelain.Presents mark on the base.Measurements: 24 x 38,5 cm.The censers have their origin in the Bronze Age, in the II millennium BC, and were developed mainly during the Shang dynasties (XIX to XI centuries BC) and Zhou (XI to III centuries BC). They were always ritual pieces, and therefore for the exclusive use of the ruling class or as funerary offerings. The bronze vessels were mainly used in sacrifices to the ancestors, and also as a means of communication between heaven and earth, as well as in ceremonial banquets (propitiatory rites). In later times the bronze vessel will be very important, and it will be considered a good omen to find an ancient bronze, especially related to the legitimacy of the ruler. In fact, from the Han dynasty (3rd century AD), they will begin to be treasured by rulers as symbols of political legitimacy.
