十七至十八世紀灑金橋耳三足銅爐，玉堂清玩款
Sold for €3,900
including Buyer's Premium
Expert’s note: The gold-splashed decoration on this censer is especially rich, suggesting that it was made with no cost spared and for the table of a high-ranking official or an important scholar-literati.
The compressed tripod vessel is raised on three tapering feet, the everted rim with two upright loop handles, richly decorated to the exterior with cloud-like gilt splashes. The base is neatly cast with the four-character hall mark in deep relief.
Inscriptions: To the base, ‘Yutang qingwan’ (pure please of the Jade Hall).
Provenance: English trade.
Condition: Good condition with old wear, expected traces of use, and minor casting flaws, slight rubbing to the gilt, and occasional minute nicks and light scratches. The interior with several pronounced fatigue cracks, signs of extensive usage over a prolonged period of time.
Weight: 1,221 g
Dimensions: Width 14.7 cm
