18th century
Crisply cast supported on three finely cast elephant-head legs, each issuing slender tusks and adorned with bejewelled harnesses inset with semi-precious stones, below scrolling leafy lotus sprays cast in relief around the body flanked by a pair of elephant-head handles, the domed openwork cover with further lotus scrolls and surmounted by a recumbent elephant finial topped with a boshanlu. 37.5cm (14 3/4in) high. (2).
Footnotes
十八世紀 銅太平有象象首耳三足爐
The elephant, 象 (xiang), is homophonous with 祥 (xiang, auspiciousness), while the vase, 瓶 (ping), is associated with 平 (ping, peace), giving rise to the auspicious phrase 太平有象 (Taiping youxiang), 'may there be peace and auspicious signs'. The elephant thus became a popular symbol of peace, stability and good fortune, particularly when depicted carrying or accompanied by a vase, as is the case with the finial on the present lot.
Compare with a similar embellished partially-gilt bronze tripod 'elephant' incense burner and cover, 18th century, which was sold at Bonhams Hong Kong, 26 May 2014, lot 203.
