     PROVENANCE

     Acquired in Taiwan in 1980s

     The mark on the present censer, Changchun jushi, is Emperor
     Qianlong’s hall name given by his father Emperor Yongzheng in 1733. In
     both the composition and style, this mark is very similar to Qianlong’s
     Changchun jushi seal, illustrated by Guo Fuxiang, Mingqing dihou xiyin
     (Emperor and Empress’ Seals of Ming and Qing Dynasties), Beijing,
     2002, p. 145. The present censer was likely to be commissioned by
     Qianlong when he was Bao Qinwang (the crown prince Bao) during the
     Yongzheng period.
