The form of the present incense burner is likely inspired by one of the most classic bronze shapes produced during the Xuande period (1426-1437). These shapes in turn were drawn from the range of objects depicted in the 'Illustrations of Antiquities in the Xuanhe Hall', Xuanhe bogutu, and other antiquarian texts; while some others were modelled on fine specimens of ceramics of the Northern Song period (960-1127).
Vessels modelled after archaic shapes, such as the present example, were designated for use in the sacrificial altars located outside of the capital, at Imperial ancestral temples and within Court palaces; however, they were also presented to princely households and meritorious officials. Incense burners were also used by the literati to decorate the tables and shelves in their studio and burn fragrant incense for creating a contemplative atmosphere.
See a large bronze tripod incense burner, 17th/18th century, which was sold at Christie's New York, 17 March 2017, lot 1045.
