What to Look For

Check the listing’s measurements and weight carefully, as Chinese bronze incense burners range from small decorative objects to substantial tripods. Examine all photographs for casting flaws, dents, splits, worn surfaces and repairs, particularly around feet, handles, rims and pierced lids. Confirm that the lid fits securely and that any finial, animal figure or removable ash tray is present. Look for clear images of the underside, including marks, seals or evidence of later alteration; do not assume a mark proves age or attribution. Descriptions such as “antique style”, “old” or “collectable” are not authentication. Ask whether the surface is original, polished, lacquered or artificially aged, and check UK delivery costs and returns.

Buying Tips

Compare listings by size, weight, construction and completeness rather than title or asking price alone. Check that lids, handles, feet and any removable liners are present, and study photographs for dents, cracks, corrosion, casting flaws, solder, polishing and other repairs. Read the description for dimensions and materials, especially where “bronze” or “brass” is used loosely. Ask for clear images of marks and the underside if needed. Before buying, confirm UK postage, packaging, dispatch time and the seller’s returns policy.
