Chinese, censer form rounded body with slightly flared rim, sides with carved decoration of leaves and flowers, rounded foot, interior conical nozzle for wick, base of nozzle unglazed, 3-3/8 x 6-1/2 in.

For a similar example, please see: Blanc de Chine: The Great Porcelain of Dehua, by Robert Blumenfield. Page 35.
