DESCRIPTIVE DATA
----------------
object type: 'Egg and Spinach' Censer.  Hard-paste porcelain applied on the biscuit with yellow, green aubergine and white glazes.  Of bombé form, the censer rests on a splayed foot encircled by an incised green-ground foliate scroll, which is repeated beneath the short flared neck.  The exterior is decorated with mottled amber, green, aubergine and white glazes roughly carved to suggest rockwork, and is encircled by a modelled frieze of the Eight Immortals in high relief, each carrying their respective attributes, and picked out alternately in yellow, green and aubergine with white faces.   Applied on either side of the body are lion mask handles, each roughly moulded animal head is encircled by a frieze of ringlets.  The interior is unglazed apart from a green band beneath the unglazed mouthrim.  The footrim and countersunk base are also unglazed.
