no. 77.
The shape of the current censer originates from archaic bronze
lian vessels from the Han dynasty (206 BC-AD 220). Ceramic
vessels of this form are often molded with bow-strings around the
body, such as the well-known Northern Song Ru censer in the
Percival David Collection, illustrated in Sekai Toji Zenshu, vol.
12, Tokyo, 1977, p. 70, no. 62. An almost identical Longquan
tripod censer, in the collection of the Hangzhou Archaeological
Bureau, is illustrated by Zhu Boqian (ed.), Celadons from Longquan
Kilns, Taipei, 1998, p. 149, no. 116. A small Longquan censer of
similar form was discovered in 1991 in Suining, Sichuan province,
amongst a cache of ceramics dating from the late Southern Song
period, and is illustrated in Newly Discovered Southern Song Ceramics,
A Thirteenth-Century “Time Capsule”, Tokyo, 1998, p. 32, no. 23.
