17c Chinese Ming Qing Blanc De Chine Dehua Lion Censer With Impressed Seal Mark

  

This lion masked censer is virtually identical to a piece published by Rose Kerr and John Ayres and dates to the mid-17th century. It has a wonderful warm-ivry tone, exactly what one would expect (and wish for) in a piece of blanc de chine.

Two hairlines, as noted in the description as well as in the photos. Unglazed interior; knife-carved foot ring. The last three photos illustrate the published example, complete with the impressed seal mark. As those of you who collect blanc de chine are undoubtedly aware, early wares such as this with an impressed mark are exceedingly rare.
