Miniature Chinese late Qing to Republic period wucai tripod censer with compressed body raised on three tapered legs decorated in underglaze blue and famille verte overglaze enamels with a pair of confronted green and red five-clawed dragons chasing a flaming pearl among clouds and flames set against a white porcelain ground. Two upright loop handles are at the rim. A six-character underglaze blue kaishu form Ming dynasty Chenghua reign mark is on the front of the waisted neck. Late 19th to early 20th century. 2 1/2" high to rim (3 1/8” high to top of loop handles), 3 1/2" diameter. Very good overall condition. A small area where the glaze didn’t cover has burnt orange. From a Scottsdale, Arizona collection. The current owners purchased the dish in Rockaway, Oregon in 1978 from Rose Wong, an American missionary to China who married a native Chinese. She acquired it in China prior to the Japanese occupation. A copy of the original receipt is included with the purchase.
