Chinese. The globular form supported on three mythical beast cabriole legs, rising to a slightly everted rim set to either side with a pair of curved handles, the midsection decorated with a band of key-fret pattern, the base centred with a four-character mark.


朝冠耳式樣香爐,取官帽之形而來,形制見於《宣德彝器圖譜》,有“加官進爵”之吉兆,頗有意味。此爐形制典雅,線條優美,包漿潤澤,皮殼呈棗紅色。爐平口,束頸,鼓腹豐滿,雙耳線條優美流暢,剛柔並濟,與爐身搭配和諧。
