Scope and content
This is a small barrel-shaped Chinese container with lid that was used for burning incense. The lid has recessed centre with five openings where the incense was presumably placed to be burnt. The lid is sea foam green with light green vine designs on it. The inside of the container itself is made of a white opaque. The glazed exterior is mainly a sea foam green color with a yellow and purple ring at the top and bottom of the container. There are floral decorations all over the outside of the incense burner with green vines, purple flowers, and blue/purple leaves. The floral decorations are incised in the sides and there are some colorful raised dots around the purple ring. On the edge and bottom of the barrel shaped container are some stamped Chinese characters on in a red color.
