A nicely modelled Ming Dynasty miniature stand, possibly censer stand, with four leg. The four green glazed legs ending in spherical feet are connected in the middle by two circular treys with a perforation in the middle of each. The trey were possibly meant to hold plates with incense, or offerings. Wear such as damage to the glaze, pitting and discolouration alongside earthly encrustations to the surface. Some flaking and hairline cracks to the glaze. The Ming Dynasty played host to some of China’s most renowned artistic achievements. The culture’s artistic explosion can be in part explained by the Ming dynasty’s economic success. In ancient China it was common practice to bury terracotta miniature of utilitarian and ornamental objects with the deceased. These objects were offered to assist and help the deceased in the afterlife, and they would have been modelled in the shape of cooking utensils, miniature replicas of their houses, as well as a range of furniture and other items.
