Ming Incense Burner Longquan 17th century Transition

Burns incense with eight trigram symbols incised in relief with a celadon glaze evenly applied. The base features natural mineral grains and impurities (the small dark spots and irregular porosity visible in the body), and the use of iron-rich clays typical of Longquan, fired in an oxidizing atmosphere in traditional-era kilns, which excludes a synthetic ceramic paste.

Feet incised with a stylized zoomorphic mask, recalling the features of the mythical protective Taotie monster or the face of an elephant or guardian lion.

Old Invoice from the Auction House available on request. (with description, period, name of the Auction House) everything else is obscured.
