chinese insense burner?

By burton-2009, 31 July, 2013
Description

Hi, I picked this up at a car boot sale last weekend, I think it's made from carved red Laquer, I spent a few hours trying to find out what the four Chinese symbols said on the bottom of the item and apparently they say Ming dynasty and the name of an emperor who was in power from 1425-1436. I'm presuming it's fake/a replica. Anyone any idea? Thanks.
