Gyokusen Seisaku, Colored Animal Figurines, Gold-painted Cloud Pattern, Ceramic, Lion Statue, Traditional Crafts, With Box Size: Approximately 5.7cm diameter x 3.3cm height 1. Glaze and Colors This item is a censer characterized by a "kiln change" effect, with a pale celadon glaze as the base and a purple mottled glaze flowing from the body to the legs. The blue and purple tones blend naturally, creating a mysterious landscape like mountain mist. The surface has a gloss, and the inside is also fully glazed. It has a beautiful finish that suggests the influence of the Longquan kiln system and the Jingdezhen system. 2. Shape and Molding Technique It follows the classic censer shape with a slightly flared mouth, a round-bodied shoulder, three legs, and angular double ears (souji). The molding is very careful, and the hand feel is smooth. The wheel marks are inconspicuous, and the finish is uniform and of high quality. 3. Foot and Clay Body The foot is unglazed, and the clay body has a yellowish-brown to reddish tone. The contact surfaces of the three legs are not glazed, and traces of support during firing can also be seen. Iron spots and fine sand grains can also be seen on the base, suggesting an intention to reproduce the style of ancient ceramics. 4. Condition There are no chips or cracks, and the overall condition is very well preserved. The glaze crack and natural kiln change are from the time of manufacture and are of high appreciation value. 【Estimated Period】 Late Qing Dynasty - Republican Period 【Notes】 - This item was purchased at an antique market and is more suitable for collection and appreciation than actual use. - There may be missing parts, peeling, small dents, scratches, and stains.
