Description

A GOOD CHINESE ZITAN INCENSE TOOL VASE
QING DYNASTY

Elegantly carved with a slightly tapering body with the cross-section of a five-petalled mallow flower, with the top as a series of overlapping petals, raised on five panel feet which extend down from the petals, the wood with an attractive grain, 12cm.

Cf. Christie’s New York, 17th September 2010, for a closely related larger example but with six petals, from the collection of Philip Wood.
