Hand Carved Antique Chinese Jade Incense Burner Censer

This Jade Incense burner is so meticulously carved - another piece as finely carved would be a hard find! This censer has 4 carved loose rings, dragon motifs on the sides, and a Chineseguardianlion atop. The jade is a very fine atmospheric green color. The backside of the lion lid is missing a ring, aside from that minor flaw - this piece is in fabulous shape.
