Chinese Early 20th Century Silver Censor w/Lion Feet

This outstanding Chinese Silver Incense Burner measures 9 inches tall by 6.25 inches wide (handle to handle).

It is covered with highly detailed calligraphic symbols and a central engraved shield, bordered by a flying crane and fan symbols on alternate sides.

It stands on three elongated fu lion legs with paw feet.

The cover is surrounded by pierced leaf and flower decoration surmounted by an elephant with an engraved chow symbol topped by an apple green jade cabachon.

There is also a Chinese silver mark on the underside of the base.

The censor sits on a custom carved lotus shaped wooden base (4.5 inch diameter by 2 inches tall)

This silver censor is in outstanding condition except for one slight crimp in one of the handles which may need to be repaired for strength. (It does not affect it's appearance at all). IT IS GUARANTEED TO BE AT LEAST .925 PURE SILVER, IF NOT BETTER!
