This antique Chinese bronze incense burner dates to the Xuande period of the Ming dynasty, 1426-1435.
The Xuande reign is especially associated with fine bronze and copper vessels, and period censers remain admired for their balance, refinement, and historical importance.
The mark 宣德年製, meaning “made in the Xuande period”, places the piece within one of the most celebrated eras of early Ming decorative art.
Genuine Xuande-period bronze incense burners are particularly valued for their dignified form, rich material presence, and enduring appeal to collectors of antique Chinese works of art.
