The birth of the "Xuande Censers”, which were named after the period during which they debuted, culminated the history of the censer art. As a tasteful art enthusiast, Emperor Xuanzong of Ming was extremely keen on censers. In order to raise the quality of wine and ritual vessels displayed in the royal palaces, he ordered the imperial artisans and the Vice-Minister of Public Works to manufacture a new series of censers using the special wind-distilled bronze given as a tribute by Siam (today's Thailand), which was to be mixed with over 30 precious materials including gold, silver, tin and precious stones. They were also asked to model on the forms of the censers recorded in the Xuanhe Bogutu the Kaogutu as well as the exquisite porcelain ware produced from famous Song kilns in the imperial collection.
