Li-type incense burner censer, Ding-style vessel, Chinese, 18th century copy after a 15th-century original, Qing dynasty 1644–1911. Bronze censer, height 11.5 cm, width 17.6 cm. Decoration: two dragons among clouds; backdated signatures; ceremonial/ritual function., A small metal vessel with a rounded body and three short conical legs sits on a reflective surface, showing a mirrored image beneath. The vessel is primarily brass-colored with areas of darker patina and greenish tones inside the rim. Raised decorative elements in the same metallic hues cover the exterior, including a textured rope-like handle arching over the top and a sculpted long animal motif wrapping around the body. The background is a smooth light gray, and the reflection on the surface echoes the vessel's brass and darker greenish colors.
