The present lot is a rare example of a rectangular shaped censer. Compare a Qianlong-marked four-sided casket with gilt lion handles and finial decorated with Ming style floral designs, a gift of George Salting to the Victoria and Albert Museum, London, and illustrated by Sir H. Garner, Chinese and Japanese Cloisonne Enamels, London, 1962, text p. 91 and pl. 67B.
