Chinese Han Dynasty Glazed Censer, Sacred Mountain

Item Details

Description

China, Han Dynasty, ca. 206 BCE – 220 CE. This lead glazed censer has a separable top depicting a forest scene populated with animals and a boshan magic or sacred mountain. The lid in high three dimensional molded relief is mounted with a bird. The Chinese of this era liked to use realistic landscape representation. The base is a plain bowl, hollow stem and saucer with wonderful iridescence on the green glaze. Fine iridescent surface! Size: 9"H x 8-1/2"D.

A very similar burner was found in the group of Eastern Han tombs at Zhangwan, Lingbao County, Henan Province; see "Wenwu", 1975, #10, p.89, fig. 30. Ref. "Spirit of Han - Ceramics for the After-Life" published by the Southeast Asia Ceramics Society, 1991, pg. 129. Also "Seeking Immortality - Chinese Tomb Sculpture from the Schloss Collection, Janet Baker, The Bowers Museum of Cultural Art, Santa Ana, CA., 1996.

Provenance: Acquired in the early 70’s by the present owner from an old French collection.

All items legal to buy/sell under U.S. Statute covering cultural patrimony Code 2600, CHAPTER 14, and are guaranteed to be as described or your money back.
