Catalogue Note
This censer is impressive for the large size and even hue of the stone. By restricting the intricate carved decorative elements to the
outer sections, namely the feet, handles and finial, the carver has created a frame around the undecorated body and cover to
display the jade stone. A censer of this type was sold in these rooms, 18th March 2008, lot 32.
