The heavily potted censer is raised on three mask and paw supports. The
shallow rounded sides curve inward to the flat rim and are carved with
the Eight Trigrams between borders of small applied florets. It is covered
overall with a sea-green glaze except the slightly irregular circle in the
interior which was left in the biscuit including the protruding rounded
centre of the base, both burnt orange in the firing.
