Chinese Incense Culture(香学)
Qing Dynasty · Enamel Censer and Court Incense Affairs
Qing dynasty court incense vessels were exquisitely crafted and elaborate, valued more for display than for daily use.
Qing Dynasty · Enamel Censer and Court Incense Affairs
Cloisonné Enamel Censer
Cloisonné censers and incense burners with interlocking floral and beast-mask motifs, important display pieces of the inner court and the Summer Palace.
Reclining Censer · Incense Ball
Reclining censers burn stick incense; incense balls (a legacy of the in-quilt censer) hung in tents to scent bedding—both for court daily use.
Incense Stand · Incense Screen
Lacquer-carved incense stands hold censers, incense screens partition and spread fragrance, and ritual display grew ever more elaborate.
