Description
A Fine Chinese Qing Dynasty Cloisonne Gilt Bronze Censer. Bulbous body on raised on flared rim. Five gilt rings banded from opening mouth to the foot rim. Two Fu dogs masks flanked on both shoulders suspending the looped handles. The exterior decorated in enamel filled the gilt bronze cloisonne works with geometrical archaic motif simulated the Tao-Tie masks of the seeing eyes. Banded with repeating tropical leaves and scrolling twigs patterned ribbons. All sets against pale-turquoise-blue enamel ground. The composition is sophisticated and the colors are a feast for the eye.
The cloisonne decorating has been done with impressive fluency and detail. As sacrificial sets are considered quite rare, this set from Qianlong's imperial workmanship is an absolute highlight.
Mark on base, incised four Seal Script, QianLong Reign Period.
Dimensions: 6-1/8" H x 12" W (handle to handle)
Weight: 7 LB
