“Writhing dragons weave through the dense leaves of a central flowering peony on this extravagantly sculpted stoneware censer. Vividly colored with lead glazes fired at lower temperatures, this vessel reflects advances in Ming-dynasty ceramic technology. The brilliant new color palette was used for palace and temple building materials as well as for sculptures and ceremonial vessels.”
