Xuande reign-marked incense burners of this high quality casting are extremely rare. Hausmann makes the case for this vessel, less sharp edged and solidly formed than other apocryphally marked examples, being a genuine Xuande mark and period vessel.
The form is derived from Han dynasty cosmetic boxes found in tombs of high ranking members of the aristocracy. For a gilt-bronze prototype of similar form, with the same horizontal fillets, see the example in the Smithsonian Institution, Gift of Arthur M. Sackler, S1987.341a-b.

The aesthetic of the current vessel is more restrained, lacking the ring-handles and cover, and with plain, cabriole feet where the Han dynasty example has separately cast miniature bears comprising the feet.
