Incense Burner
A low, rounded incense burner with a flared rim, two small sculpted handles at the shoulders, and a short foot. The pale glaze is covered in a fine network of crackle lines, and a soft highlight sits on the lower body against a dark grey backdrop.
Look closer: Small dark specks of firing residue dot the lower left of the body.
