The impressed four-character zhuanshu seal mark on the underside
of the current lot is rare. The only other known example is an
identical Dehua incense burner in the Chongqing Museum, accession
no.CB71215. Compare also another similar example with incised
Chenghua six-character Imperial kaishu mark in the British Museum,
illustrated by Jessica Rawson, The British Museum Book of Chinese Art,
London, 1992, p.248, no.185.

有著錄之攜有「遒古折簡」款之德化爐極為少見，僅見重慶博物館藏有
一件，重博編號71215，亦為明後期之作。此爐釉色尚佳，呈蔥根白，
透光呈微粉紅色。
