弦紋三足爐，匲式，造型來自漢代青銅器。弦紋的母題貫穿歷史，是各朝各代帝王青睞的紋飾，宋徽宗、宋高宗就製作了汝窯、南宋官窯弦紋匲式爐。這件釉色瑩潤，釉光閃亮，整體完整，是市場上罕見的作品。
This tripod incense burner (lu), characterized by its raised concentric bowstring pattern (xianwen) and gui-shaped form, draws direct inspiration from Han dynasty bronze vessels. The bowstring motif itself has persisted throughout Chinese history, consistently favored by successive imperial courts. Notably, Emperor Huizong and Emperor Gaozong of the Song dynasty commissioned Ru ware and Southern Song Guan ware censers of the gui tripod form adorned with precisely executed bowstring patterns, highlighting their refined aesthetic preference and adherence to classical antiquarian styles.
直口，平底，身為圓筒狀，下承三隻獸形足；外壁裝飾均勻凸起弦紋數周，止於獸足上緣，獸足造型穩健，承接奩身，勢如扛鼎；器身以黃、綠二色彩釉分施奩身內外，內裡釉色明如雞油，外身翠豔似鮮草，釉面皆勻滑光亮，鮮亮濃郁，外底同足下光素露胎，胎質老幹堅實，為米黃色；三足奩造型規整，線條簡潔，唐代三足奩除作為貴族女性盛放梳妝用品以外也常被作為文房用品或香具，兼具了多重實用與美觀性，展現了該期獨有的生活細節和藝術審美情趣。

This cylindrical container features a straight rim, a flat base, and is elevated upon three animal-form feet. The exterior walls are decorated with evenly spaced raised concentric string patterns encircling the body, terminating just above the animal-shaped feet. These feet are robustly modeled, solidly supporting the vessel body in a posture reminiscent of animals shouldering a ceremonial tripod (ding). The interior and exterior surfaces exhibit distinctly applied glazes of yellow and green respectively: the interior glaze possesses a bright, chicken-fat-like luster, whereas the exterior glaze is a lush, vivid green resembling fresh grass. Both surfaces display a uniformly smooth and lustrous finish, characterized by their intense color and visual depth. The exterior base and the undersides of the feet remain unglazed, revealing a sturdy, well-fired pale beige ceramic body.
This three-footed lian displays a formal regularity of shape combined with clean, graceful lines. In the Tang dynasty, such tripod containers were utilized not only by noblewomen for storing cosmetic and grooming items but were also commonly employed as stationery accessories or incense holders. Embodying both practicality and aesthetic appeal, they provide valuable insight into the unique nuances of daily life and artistic tastes characteristic of this historical period.
