Greenish-white-glazed Incense Burner

Yangzhou Museum

Yangzhou Museum
Yangzhou, China

Passed down from earlier generations, this practical incense burner in a beautiful, decorous shape is mainly composed of a ball which can be either separated or combined into one. While the upper half of the ball is covered with flame-shaped openings, the lower half is simply decorated with a sunken line that forms a surrounding circle. Its base is composed of a thin neck that supports the ball and a high ring-shape bottom. Its sturdy white body is covered with lustrous jade-like greenish-white glaze only on the exterior.
