A BRONZE TRIPOD CENSER WITH ORIGINAL STAND Qing Dynasty
Made of pure copper with a heavy, solid feel. Maroon in coloration as if enshrouded by rosy clouds, the whole body has a round mouth topped with a flat rim. The shoulders are sloping with a drooping abdominal. A pair of ears protrude from the sides. The abdominal dramatically tapers off whilst three legs support the body. At the bottom, two rows of characters in a square frame read Shang G. Sh.n Ren. The censer comes with the original three-legged Drifting Cloud style stand. This precious censer's dignified model and elegant lines complement perfectly with the rising spirit of the ears and the stout legs.
