STUNNING LARGE HEAVY ANTIQUE late 19th century BRONZE / BRASS VERY DETAILED IMPRESSIVE CHINESE INCENSE BURNER CENSOR having a large dog of Foe (temple lion) finial atop of a pieced domed cover! Large wonderful Cockerel handles adorn the two sides, with further cockerels as supports. Greek key indentations around and cloisonne raised floral inserts, apon a stepped base with further decoration. I have owned it for many years, the previous owner lightly applied clear lacquer the censor to preserve and protect the enamels, so has slightly a polished look to it. Measures a large approx 445mm high, the base 190mm diameter, widest measurement across, cockerel beak to beak approx 260mm.

It is very heavy, my accurate scales only go to 3KG, and this easily exceeds that, so guessing, about 3.5KG. Despite owning it years, I only just noticed tonight (after shining a powerful light) that the ball and dog's rear leg (see last two photos) has either a casting flaw or old damage! Taken this long to'spot' it, but all part of it's character!!!
