The present liding is impressive for the
exceptionally well executed archaistic
design, utilising the entire three-lobed
exterior of the vessel. The decorative
technique of silver-wire inlay on bronze first
appeared during the late Zhou dynasty,
and was revived and became popular from
the Song dynasty onwards when archaism
became a predominant style in the production
of artefacts. The dating of such gold and
silver-inlaid bronze archaistic vessels has been
a subject of debate over the past years, with
opinions and dating ranging from the Song
to the Qing dynasty. See a closely related
gold and silver-inlaid bronze incense burner,
liding, dated as Song dynasty, which was sold
at Sotheby’s Hong Kong, 8 October 2014,
lot 3335. Compare, however, with a related
but smaller silver-wire inlaid tripod vessel,
ding, 17th/early 18th century, illustrated by
M.Maucuer, Bronzes de la Chine Imperiale des
Song aux Qing, Paris, 2013, p.101, no.52.
Compare also with a related but smaller silver-
wire inlaid bronze tripod censer, ding, 16th
century, which was sold at Christie’s Hong
Kong, 3 June 2015, lot 3315. For a further
related example, see a smaller silver-wire inlaid
bronze archaistic tripod censer, liding, 18th
century, which was sold at Christie’s New
York, 26 March 2010, lot 1320.
