Description from the seller

A charming small blue and white censer in the style of the mid-Ming period, delicately painted with three qilin — auspicious mythical creatures symbolizing good fortune. The brushwork is lively and spontaneous, full of spirit. More than just a functional incense burner, it is a refined object to be admired in the palm of one’s hand. The cobalt tone is soft and elegant, with a naturally lustrous glaze and fine crackles near the base, enhancing its sense of age. The piece may date slightly earlier than its stylistic features suggest.

The item will be professionally packed with protective materials and shipped safely via a reliable and efficient courier service.
