A chinese bronze censer of squat tripod form with everted, banded rim. It has a 4 character Xuande mark carved in the base. The interior has not been turned off and still shows the shape of the moulding process. (Usually there will be turning marks inside censers of this type and age.)

It has been polished. There are surface shrinkage marks. (see photos)
