This incomplete pair of charming 18th-19th century bronze censors consists of one complete censor on extended tripod legs, with a shi shi top and also one additional matching body without the legs, base or top. These censors both have a series of eight open mouth Buddhist Temple Lion faces around the main body (see closeup) The complete censor measures 10 inches tall by about 5 inches in diameter. The tripod legs are set on a circular, flat base with a sunburst pattern engraved on it. There are no country of origin marks on any of the pieces. These pieces have nice and even patinas. They appear to be Chinese, made for the Japanese market. Circa 1840's-1880"s. |
