The Longquan kilns, located in Longquan, Zhejiang Province, are among the most renowned producers of celadon in Chinese history. Their wares are celebrated for their jade-like texture and gentle bluish-green glaze, representing the refined craftsmanship of Ming dynasty celadon.

The tripod censer is a common form, typically with a round body, flat rim, or constricted neck, supported by three outward-curving or column-shaped legs, sometimes with upturned “cloud” handles. Such censers were used in religious and ritual contexts, as well as for scholarly and imperial display.

Characteristic features of Ming Longquan celadon include a soft greenish-blue glaze of rich, lustrous quality, with natural crackle patterns and an unglazed footring revealing grayish clay.

This piece also bears traces of ancient repair using the traditional “juzi” (metal staple) technique. These small U-shaped metal clamps were used to mend cracks in ceramics—a testament to the skill and resourcefulness of craftsmen in antiquity.

It is said that this Ming dynasty Longquan celadon tripod censer has been compassionately blessed by Grandmaster JinBodhi. Those who are fortunate to invite it into their home may enjoy purity and fragrance, prosperity for descendants, longevity, virtue, and auspicious enlightenment.
