A VERY RARE LARGE GILT BRONZE DUCK FORM CENSER

Item Details

Description

明大型銅鎏金寶鴨薰炉
The incense burner is intricately cast in the form of a seated duck, with its beak open and eyes nestled beneath delicate feathers cascading down its elongated neck. The body features two crescent-shaped openings on either side, adorned with layers of meticulously cast plumes that overlap each other, all supported on a pair of webbed feet rested upon a gilded metal plinth. Ming Dynasty period.

Height: 15 3/8 in (39.0 cm) Length: 19 3/4 in (50.0 cm) Width: 5 7/8 in (15.0 cm)

Provenance: Property from a Maryland private collection
During the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), incense burners designed as ducks enjoyed widespread popularity in imperial court and official-literati society. For instance, in 1406, Zhu Youdun penned a verse in "One Hundred Lyric Poems of the Yuan Court," describing a golden duck burning fragrant incense late into the night, suggesting the opulence of the imperial setting. Similar duck-shaped censers can be found in the collection of the Tokugawa Art Museum in Nagoya, such as the bronze duck-shaped censer (Fig.1), as well as ceramic artifacts like the Ming Chenghua period three-color duck censer excavated from Jingdezhen (Fig.2). Additionally, a cloisonnï¿½ï¿½ enamel duck-shaped censer housed in the National Palace Museum in Taipei (Fig.3), estimated to date back to the early 16th century of the Ming Dynasty. Furthermore, a more closely related example is the Ming Xuande-marked gilt bronze duck censer (Fig.4), formerly collected by A&J Speelman, was sold at a Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong on April 8, 2014, for HKD 29.24 mil
