.Dimensions:Large censer Diameter 10cm(3.94in),Height 7.5cm(2.95in);Two small qin censers Diameter 4.7cm(1.85in),Height 4.4cm(1.73in),13th‑14th century Yuan‑era Jun kiln waresCondition & Provenance:All three pieces are fully intact without hairline cracks,chip damage or restorations.The large censer displays flowing rose‑purple splash over sky‑blue ground glaze with pervasive fine crackle;bead studs along rim remain full and rounded,three feet reveal ochre‑yellow raw clay.Two miniature censers are covered in classic Jun sky‑blue glaze,one accented by partial purple splash.Coarse yellow‑brown body is exposed on foot bases with genuine inherited wear and age deposit,no modern artificial distressing.This group was formerly in a private Hong‑Kong‑based collection focusing on Jin‑Yuan ceramics,acquired from a reputable Oriental art gallery in London in 2020.Surviving intact group assembled from one large plus two small Jun censers is fairly uncommon worldwide,representing key artifacts for studying northern Jun incense‑burning ritual and scholar‑studio wares.Description:This group consists of three Yuan‑dynasty Jun‑type incense burners:one large bead‑stud tripod censer together with two tiny scholar‑studio qin censers.They served for ancestral offerings and quiet incense burning within literati studies,exemplifying the celebrated flame‑varied glaze artistry of northern Jun kilns.The main large censer features deep straight‑sided body with continuous bead‑stud decoration encircling the rim,resting upon three animal‑form feet.Thick sky‑blue Jun glaze envelops the exterior,interspersed with fine aged crackle.Dramatic flowing rose‑purple splash streaks drift across blue ground creating the famous unpredictable Jun kiln‑change effect.Three feet expose coarse ochre‑yellow body clay characteristic of Yuan Jun production.The two miniature qin censers are compact incense burners for guqin‑playing studio use.Each has flared mouth,rounded bulbous belly and three short mammiform feet.One small censer bears scattered purple splash atop sky‑blue glaze.All foot bases show unrefined hand‑trimmed yellow‑brown clay.These three wares share consistent body‑glaze traits,attributable to northern Jun‑type kilns of Yuan period.Jun ware earned its reputation for spectacular random kiln‑change color effects.Various forms of censers were mass‑produced in Yuan times,yet original intact groupings mixing large and small examples are rare.This group faithfully preserves hallmark Yuan‑Jun technical features including thick glaze,natural kiln‑change splash,bead‑stud molding and rustic foot‑work.It holds great ritual‑incense aesthetic,northern‑kiln art‑historical and collectible value.It suits specialized Jun‑ware collections and museum‑grade exhibitions focused on Jin‑Yuan northern ceramics,providing excellent tangible evidence for investigating medieval Chinese incense culture and folk Jun‑kiln manufacturing networks.
