Tripod Stand or Censer, 1403-1424, 8-1/8 x 7-15/16 x 7-15/16 in. ( x x cm), Jingdezhen ware Carved and appliqué porcelain under clear glaze, China, 15th century, This extremely rare stand or censer is very similar to one excavated at the site of the early Ming imperial kilns at Ch'u-shan in Ching-te-chen, Kiangsu province and both are extraordinary examples of the magnificent 'sweet white' porcelains produced during the reign of the Yongle emperor (1403-24). White ware held special significance for the emperor and it was the predominant color of Yongle court-sponsored wares.
