Couldn't load pickup availability
A Chinese blue and white porcelain censer (or possibly a jardiniere), finely decorated with ascending dragons chasing the pearl. The color of the blue used for the underglaze decoration has a slight grayish hue to it. The glaze on the entire body of the piece, has a bluish tint to it. Footrim feels nice and smooth to the touch. It is unmarked.
Condition: The censer is in very good condition, with some bursted glaze bubbles on the rim and body, and a couple of small chips on the inside of the footrim. It has alot of black spots all around the body, and heavy signs of glaze contractions on the inside bottom, as well as some on the rim and body. There are alot of imperfections in the glaze, including a small area on the inside where some imperfection burst through the glaze. It also has some age-related wear.
Dimensions: The censer is 20.5cm in diameter (approx. 8 1/5 inches) and 17cm in height (approx. 6 4/5 inches).
