A BRONZE TRIPOD CENSER AND STAND
17TH-18TH CENTURY
The heavily cast, compressed body is raised on three feet and set with a pair of loop handles, and the base is cast with an apocryphal three-character Xuande mark. The stand is cast in the form of three overlapping flower petals, supported on three ruyi-shaped feet. Both the censer and stand have an attractive, finely speckled patina, with a darker, more mottled color on the undersides and feet.
6 in. (15.2 cm.) wide across the handles
