The Porcelain Censer alone measures approximately 5.67 inches (14.4 cm) at the Widest part over the Lion Mask Handles and is circa 2.75 inches (7.0 cm) High The censer on its stand including its wooden cover with Jade finial is 7.6 inches (19.3 cm) High. The porcelain censer is in Good condition with n o cracks, but approximately 3 millimeters at the outer edge of the top rim was ground away and nicely polished - it does not distract at all. Otherwise i t shows only the appropriate wear for its age. The Zitan wooden cover was originally made of two pieces glued together and it came apart at the joint. It has subsequently been re-stuck together and only shows on the inside as shown in the images.
