Cloisonne enamel spherical incense burners are extremely rare. See a Yuan dynasty example and a Kangxi prototype with a lacquer stand, both decorated with lotus sprays against a turquoise ground, in the collection of the Palace Museum of Beijing, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum - Metal-bodied Enamel Ware, Hong Kong 2002, p.160, no.18 and no.87.
It is also interesting to note the remarkable technique of hammering gilt decoration on the two boys holding the censer, which reminds us of the group of metalwork examples bearing the Hu Wenming mark, included in the exhibition Arts from the Scholar’s Studio, Hong Kong, 1986, nos. 73, 103, 230, 231, 237, and 246.
