Condition
Apart from typical light wear to the gold, light scratches and a few minor dents, the censer is overall in very good condition. The actual patina is darker and somewhat more green and less yellow compared to the catalogue illustration.

For a discussion of bronze censers of this type, but with apocryphal Xuande reign marks, see lot 173 in this catalogue. Further information is included in Gerard Tsang and Hugh Moss, Arts from the Scholar’s Studio, Fung Ping Shan Museum, University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, 1986, p. 150. Several examples are known with Zhengde marks of the Ming period, and with Kangxi and Yongzheng marks of the Qing dynasty. However, finely casted examples, including the present one, that bear a Tongzhi reign mark and is of the period, are extremely rare.
See a larger gold-splashed tripod censer of this type, bearing the signature of the late Ming metal caster Wu Bangzuo, sold in our New York rooms, 23rd March 2004, lot 548; another sold in our London rooms, 17th October 1978, lot 95; and one of closely related form and size, sold at Christie’s Hong Kong, 31st May 2010, lot 2075, bearing a six-character Xuande reign mark.
