Incense burner with celadon glaze
Both the shape and glaze of this incense burner reflect the Yongzheng emperor’s antiquarian taste. Potters modelled the form of the incense burner on an ancient bronze food vessel called a gui . Wealthy aristocrats and generals of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, (about 1600–256 BC), buried bronze vessels as part of ritual eating and drinking equipment for tombs. The shape was transformed into an incense burner in the Song dynasty (AD 960–1279) as catalogues of collections of antiques were published with woodblock-printed illustrations. The celadon glaze evokes both Northern Song Ru and Southern Song guan glazes. There is an underglaze blue Yongzheng seal mark on the base.

青釉香爐
香爐的器形與釉色皆反映了雍正皇帝的尚古審美品位。陶工們以古代青銅食器簋為模本燒造此香爐。商周時期(約西元前1600-前256年)的貴族及武官以青銅禮儀用食器與酒器隨葬。這種器形在宋代(960-1279年)伴隨著木版印刷古物收藏圖錄的出版為人所知,並演變為香爐。青釉的呈色使人聯想到北宋汝窯及南宋官窯的釉色。器底署青花雍正篆書款。
