AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A charming Ming dynasty style blue and white incense burner in the form of a mythical beast “Pixiu”. The piece is crafted from a fine porcelain body with a brilliant, glassy glaze.
The underglaze cobalt blue is vivid and dynamic, showing clear layering and natural pooling in areas such as the bells and mane, typical of Wanli-period cobalt accumulation.
The glaze exhibits subtle firing traces and specks of iron-red, enhancing its authenticity and visual depth.

It will be professionally packed and securely shipped via a trusted courier service.
