Jade Censer

By kimsnic, 5 January, 2011
Description

This piece is light green, very heavy and it looks as if it was hand carved.

The round ball at the top rotates. It is held in place with a hand carved jade type peg at the top and a metal type peg on the bottom. There are carved dragons and what looks like a womans blank face with blazing hair or a blazing sun 

 

The base has a 2 1/2" opening for the top to fit into. The opening is about 1 1/2" deep. The inside is not polished. It has a finely carved dragon head on bothe sides, two round rings and 3 feet with a bushy eyebrowed animal on each one

The condition is good, but there are a few chips on the bottom base.

If you tap the two pieces together it sounds almost like 2 drumsticks hitting each other.

It looks like there is a rough pontil on the bottom of the top piece in a rectangular shape and one on the base that looks like it was polished
