拍品描述

英文品名：A QING BRONZE TRIPOD CENSER WITH RELIEF FLORAL DESIGN AND BEAST-HEAD RING HANDLES 尺寸：D:17cm;H:20cm 銅鑄。三足爐，口沿兩側飾獸耳銜環，腹部滿浮雕菊花、牡丹，花瓣層疊，葉脈清晰，地子鏨魚子紋。下承三柱足，足端外撇。皮色古銅泛金，質感溫潤，為清代銅香具。銅香爐承宋代以來宣爐傳統，明代宣德三年曾以暹羅風磨銅鑄鼎式爐，自此銅香爐為書齋、佛堂必備。焚香之法：爐中先鋪香灰，次置香餅或削香木塊，隔火慢薰，不令煙焰直上，謂隔火薰香，文人講究擣麝篤沉。三足者宜於几案，耳式便於捧持。腹部滿浮雕花卉，地子鏨魚子紋，又稱雪花地，是清代常見的工藝裝飾。 A bronze tripod censer. Beast-head handles with loose rings are set at the rim; the belly is densely cast in relief with chrysanthemums and peonies, petals layered and veins clear, the ground stippled with fish-roe texture. Three slightly splayed columnar feet support the vessel. The patina is of an antique bronze tone with golden highlights. Bronze censers follow the Xuande burner tradition established when, in 1428, the Xuande Emperor cast ritual vessels from Siamese bell metal; thereafter bronze censers became standard in studios and chapels. Incense was burned on a bed of warm ash over a low heat, with a cake or chip of sandalwood or aloe laid in between, so that fragrance rose without smoke, the fire-separated method prized by literati. Tripod forms sit steadily on desks; handles allow the vessel to be lifted. Dense floral relief on a stippled fish-roe ground is a common decorative treatment of the Qing.
