----- FINAL MARKDOWN HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED -----


Don't miss the opportunity to own this remarkable piece of Chinese art history.
Elevate your space with this rare and exquisitely detailed lapis lazuli incense burner, also known as a censer. Expertly hand-carved from deep blue lapis with natural white calcite veining, this piece features dramatic guardian dragon motifs on both handles and a powerful three-dimensional dragon atop the lid. Delicate free-moving stone rings hang from each side-an impressive feat of lapidary craftsmanship.

Resting on three clawed feet, this vessel reflects traditional Chinese artistry often associated with spiritual rituals and imperial decor. The piece suggests intended use as a censer for burning incense, though it now serves equally well as a decorative object or collection centerpiece.

Its saturated ultramarine coloration, intricate openwork carving, and incredible condition make it an exceptionally rare find-ideal for collectors of Chinese antiques, natural stone objects, or symbolic spiritual artifacts.
