The principal decorative motif of the present incense burner is the chrysanthemum, arranged in distinctive clusters of three flowerheads amid scrolling foliage. Chrysanthemums are less commonly encountered on Ming dynasty cloisonné enamel incense burners than the ubiquitous lotus, and their inclusion here is noteworthy. Traditionally associated with autumn and longevity, the chrysanthemum also held a particular significance in connection with the Double Ninth Festival (), celebrated on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, when chrysanthemum wine was traditionally consumed.
Compare with three similar cloisonné enamel tripod incense burners, early to mid-Ming dynasty, with similar decoration of clusters of chrysanthemums, in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in the , vol.1, Beijing, 2011, nos.46, 80 and 81.
以菊為題，三三成組，枝葉茂盛，甚是雅致 。明朝掐絲琺瑯香爐圖樣，以番蓮為大宗，菊紋較為鮮見。菊乃秋之妍，又稱壽菊，九月九日重陽節，更有淺酌菊花酒以養生延年、祈福消災的傳統。
參考清宮舊藏明初至中期三例，同飾成組菊花，收入《故宮博物院藏品大系：琺瑯器編》，卷1，北京，2011年，編號46、80及81。
