The censer is carved on the everted rim, rounded sides and sides above the apron-feet with overlapping lotus petals. The cover is pierced on the sides with foliate patterns below a row of lotus petals in high relief, surmounted by an elaborate lotus bud-form finial. Both the censer and cover are applied to the exterior with a densely crackled glaze of olive-green tone, the interior unglazed revealing the buff body.
