Incense burner with a cover and flower sprays c. 1670 - 1690

This 17th-century porcelain incense burner, with a lid featuring a small animal finial, is a fine example of Dutch Delftware. The piece is decorated with delicate floral motifs and a geometric pattern in shades of blue, red, and green. The burner’s three short legs, typical of this style, give it a sense of stability and elegance. The piece, likely made for a wealthy Dutch household, exemplifies the popularity of Chinese-inspired designs in Europe during this period.
