I have decided to sell some of my own personal Asian art coll...ection to make space for new additions. Over the coming weeks I'll be auctioning on eBay lots of interesting antiques, which will end each and every Sunday.

On 14-May-19 at 21:45:27 BST, seller added the following information:
DIMENSIONSHeight: - 6 cm (2 4/8 inches)
Width: - 28 cm (11 inches)
Weight: - 1.47 Kg (3.2 lb / 51.7 oz)
CONDITION: Good Original Condition with beautiful bright turquoise glaze with fine incised decoration. - No Repairs, No Restorations, No Chips, No Hairlines, No Breaks, just general scuffs and scratches to the interior, as you would expect from a piece of this period. There are three, 5 claw dragons chasing flaming pearls; two are on the outside rim and the third is on the interior. - Please note this large antique Chinese censer was made during the Qing dynasty and is NOT a modern copy. There is a shrinkage line in the porcelain on the exterior, running 9 cm parallel to the rim, this is original and would have happened when the piece was first fired in the kiln. It should also be noted that there is a 3 mm piece of grit (a small stone) under the turquoise glaze, clearly shown in my 9th photograph. - It is rare these days to find such a large censer of this type without damage. I have only seen one other example in the past 30 or so years (I think it was at Bonhams auction house in London), that example had been broken in 3 places and restored. The censer being auctioned here has no damage. - Good luck!
