The censer is covered overall with a translucent and crackled celadon glaze of even tone, potted with a bombé body rising to a short constricted neck and supported on three splayed but strong legs which taper off to form the pointed and unglazed tips, recovering a sense of simplicity. With a soft and luminous design, this censer is a classic example of its type. Censer is an indispensable part of the ‘incense lore’. It has various shapes but they all serve the same purpose. This censer, while still functioning as an incense lore utensil, showcases sedateness and elegance which are required elements of Buddha worship, making it a valuable addition to the collection of Longquan wares.
