| Bold and impressive, this four-sided rectangular vase was made for holding incense sticks at a Chinese altar. Rendered in champleve technique, where the enamel colors are filled in to recessed areas of the metal field, the four sides repeat the same design: archaic characters for felicity and longevity are in a cloud-dotted field of deep red enamel bordered by bands of alternating colors -- white, red, blue, green and yellow. Also in archaic script is a molded-in seal on the bottom, probably the maker or the name of the temple for which it was made. Excellent condition and patination. Chinese, Eighteenth Century. Approximately 11-5/8 inches by 3-7/8 inches square. | ||||||
