Provenance

Sotheby's Paris, 16th December 2015, lot 16.

Condition

The censer and cover are in overall good condition. There are very minute nicks to the extremities. There is a ca. 1cm long shallow chip to the footrim, which possibly has been polished. The colour of the stone is less white, and slightly more very pale celadon than the catalogue illustration suggests.
