About this piece
Stone that looks like it was striped by rain.
Chinese carvers made this rectangular censer-form vessel on a base in marble, and the record dates it to the 19th century or earlier. Vessels of this form commonly served as incense burners or as planters. The walls splay outward under a flat rim and sit on a separate stepped plinth with small feet. The cream marble is marked by fine vertical gray veining, which gives the sides a woven, almost linear look. The surface is smooth with light wear.
About 20 inches long. Brings the garden indoors in a dignified way.
