Glazed ceramic censer “Phoenix”, Yuan style

Ceramic modelled in the form of a tripod censer with short arched feet, a short rounded body, a narrow neck and a flared mouth. It is decorated with two-coloured glazes: light ochre for the background and brown for the details. It shows a continuous scene of majestic phoenixes, with large open wings, elongated tails, slender necks and small heads ending in curved beaks, flying over a sky covered with curling clouds. The neck is decorated with a border of interwoven lines.
