17TH-18TH CENTURY
The censer is carved as a jar supported by the wind-tossed waves that form the base, and is carved below the shoulder with a band of wan diaper between dot borders spanned on one side by a mask and ring handle, and on the other with a dragon crawling from the waves to the rim, while two chilong form handles at the ends. The cover is carved and pierced with a band of clouds below a coiled dragon that clutches a flaming pearl.
