Here it is made in coarse clay with a rust brown glaze, the three legs cut as lion heads with their paws set flat, a second lion crouched on the pierced lid. Smoke from a coil leaves through the cut work around him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade by hand in Dehua, the porcelain town in Fujian, though this piece is deliberately rough. Each glaze runs a little differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a study or a tea table, and makes a decent gift for someone who has just gone for the top job.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Serenity Art \u0026 Homes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49897458532504,"sku":null,"price":129.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0528\/5517\/7368\/files\/lion-ding-incense-burner-hero.png?v=1789542620","url":"https:\/\/www.serenityartnhome.com\/products\/lion-ding-incense-burner","provider":"Serenity Art \u0026 Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
