AN 'IMITATION BRONZE' PAINTED POTTERY TRIPOD CENSER
QING DYNASTY (1644-1911)
The unusual censer is modelled after the archaic bronze tripod vessel, ding, with two upright loop handles rising from the mouth rim. The exterior of the body is decorated with a band of three taotie masks, reserved on a leiwen ground. The vessel is painted overall in various shades of green and blue to simulate the malachite and azurite encrustations which are characteristic of archaic bronzes.
8 ½ in. (21.5 cm.) high
