Censer; China, Qing dynasty, 18th century. Patinated bronze. It has apocryphal marks from the Xuande period (1426-1435). Measurements: 11 x 27 x 27 cm. Small altar censer in patinated bronze, globular in shape, with three legs and side handles, all of them depicting taotie heads. The piece has a smooth surface, almost without decoration, showing a pure finish that is enough by itself to give beauty and elegance to the piece. It is worth mentioning that the taotie is an ancient Chinese mythological creature that used to appear in bronze as in this particular example. The taotie is one of the "four evil creatures of the world". They are opposed by the Four Sacred Creatures, the Blue Dragon, the Vermilion Bird, the White Tiger and the Black Tortoise. The Taotie is often depicted as a motif on dings, which are Chinese bronze ritual vessels from the Shang (1766-1046 BC) and Zhou (1046-256 BC) dynasties. Under the Qing, inherited art forms flourished and innovations occurred at many levels and in many types. High levels of literacy, a successful publishing industry, thriving cities, and Confucian emphasis on cultivation nurtured a lively and creative set of cultural fields. uring this period, the European tendency to imitate Chinese artistic traditions, known as chinoiserie, also gained great popularity in Europe due to increased trade with China and the broader current of Orientalism.
