EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century censer, in the form of a Chinese lion, showcases the rich cultural fusion that characterized the decorative arts during this period. The intricately designed ceramic piece, created in the Mikawachi Ware tradition of Hirado, Japan, is a testament to the artistic exchange between China and Japan. The lion's regal countenance is accentuated by its scroll and sword finial, adding an air of authority and grace to the piece. The censer's body is adorned with intricate blue underglaze decoration, a hallmark of the Mikawachi Ware style. The close-up perspective in this image reveals the exquisite details of the lion's mane, the scroll, and the sword finial, inviting viewers to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating this unique object. This mysterious and beautiful censer, with its Asian origins and stunning design, is a treasure from the past that continues to captivate and inspire, now residing in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art as a cherished piece of heritage art.
