Item No. WWTT416 Item Name: Antique Longquan Celadon Tripod Incense Burner Size: Approximately 14.7cm in diameter x 6.8cm in height Weight: Approximately 470g Antique Dealer License: Fukuoka Prefectural Public Safety Commission, No. 901141810025 Description: This is a celadon ware fired at the Longquan kilns in Zhejiang Province, China, and it is modeled after the shape of a ding (tripod), an ancient Chinese bronze vessel. Southern Song celadon is a type of porcelain characterized by its beautiful blue color, mainly fired at the Longquan kilns and Southern Song imperial kilns in Zhejiang Province during the Southern Song Dynasty of China (1127-1279). In Japan, due to its excellent glaze color, it has been called "Kinuta Celadon" and "Tenryuji Celadon" and has been particularly prized. The pale bluish-green color is representative, and a large quantity was brought to Japan after the Kamakura period, used as tools for shoin architecture and tea ceremony utensils. Rinka chawan (flower-shaped tea bowl) refers to a tea bowl shaped like a flower petal. It is characterized by its rim, which undulates with multiple indentations and cuts like a flower. In particular, the celadon "Mako Han" fired during the Southern Song Dynasty in China is famous, and it was named after the cracks were repaired with "Mako" (horse locust) = "hiru" (leech)-like "kasugai" (staples).
