It has an open mouth, narrow neck, squat rounded body and three teat feet. The two ears are arched upright bridges on the rim. The body is plain, with a string moulding below the neck; the base centre bears a square seal cast in six characters, Da Ming Xuande nianzhi. The bronze is deep brown with russet splashes and a mellow patina. A Qing desk censer. Bridge-ear censers descend from the Song-dynasty Bogu illustrations and were the commonest Ming-Qing censer type. The three-footed rounded body suits table incense; the upright ears ease handling. Qing scholars kept a bronze censer in the studio, burning sandalwood or agarwood while reading or painting. The thick patina marks this as a standard Qing type.
