A Yuan Dynasty blue and white Chinese three-footed porcelain censer decorated with three phoenix (one foot with historic chip) (9.25cm diameter)
The outside of the censer has a smooth appearance, the inside has glaze dripping down from the lip and the rest of the inside is un-glazed. The underside is also un-glazed and exhibits discolouration as expected. One of the tripod feet has a very small chip to the end. Two of the feet have glaze bubbling etc. Apart from this the piece appears to be in reasonable condition. This has come from a good private collection. The glaze feels very smooth as though possibly the piece may have been shipwreck cargo; the glaze is also dribbled inside (please see close-up image) but the piece looks generally in good overall condition with no big chips, cracks or restoration noted.
