A incense burner in celadon (dongqing) glaze, made for the Ming imperial court.
Porcelain of this kind belongs to the long imperial tradition of Jingdezhen, where the workshop under the supervisor Tang Ying raised technical refinement to a high art.
Made in the Ming dynasty, when the imperial kilns at Jingdezhen first codified many of these forms and decorative schemes. It is held in The Palace Museum, Beijing, and the image is reproduced here with the museum’s credit.
