<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 101325, member: 44&quot;]I&#039;m not sure of these markings. It doesn&#039;t look like Chinese or Japanese characters to me. Hopefully someone with more knowledge of Asian languages will chime in.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do think this pot shaped incense burner with 3 legs, dragon handles and feet, and topped with a happy Buddha is handsome. I&#039;m not sure of the material, but don&#039;t think it is jade?? You might look through the following website of incense burners. It has quite an array of them cataloged by Location, Material, Shapes, Figure, and Type. Do look through &quot;Location&quot; &gt; &quot;Asia&quot; that includes China, Japan, India and Korea. You will see several with dragon head handles and dragon/beast feet. To get a feel of what jade ones look like, look through the category &quot;Material&quot; &gt; &quot;Precious Stone.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.kandaki.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.kandaki.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.kandaki.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The site has plenty of pictures, but does lack detailed info on the burners. Some of them include a link to a site on line where the particular burner is or was located at one time. The images enlarge when clicked.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
