元末/明初 龍泉窰青釉八卦紋三足爐

robustly potted and raised on three mask-and-paw feet, the shallow rounded sides carved with the 'Eight Trigrams' between bands of applied floret bosses encircling the incurved rim and base, covered overall with a lustrous sea-green glaze falling short of the centre of the interior and the raised bevelled disc on the base, both burnt orange in the firing, the interior moulded with a leafy floral medallion

This censer is in good condition, but there is one kiln adhesion, some minor scratches and iron spots to the glaze to the interior.
