Zhang Weiguo filled a basin with water and put the incense burner in the water to clean it.

Wash off the incense ash on the surface.

This layer of incense ash has been there for a long time and is not easy to wash off.

Zhang Weiguo found an old loofah and used it to rub it.

Zhang Weiguo cleaned the incense burner carefully.

The surface of the incense burner was slowly cleaned, revealing its original appearance.

It is a dark purple copper base.

This is a typical color of Xuande furnace.

Zhang Weiguo turned the incense burner over and cleaned the bottom.

There is more dust at the bottom, not just dust but oil as well.

This is much harder to clean up.

Zhang Weiguo found a small bamboo piece and started scraping off the layer of dust.

Wait until Zhang Weiguo scrapes off the dust at the bottom.

The money at the bottom also leaked out.

Zhang Weiguo cleaned the bottom with water again.

Now I can see the words at the bottom clearly.

The bottom is inscribed with regular script "Made in the Xuande Period of the Ming Dynasty".

This is a very typical Xuande furnace, made in this year and not an imitation of later generations.

The Xuande furnace was the first bronze ware in Chinese history to be cast in brass.

In order to produce high-quality copper furnaces, Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty personally supervised the production, which is rare in history.

The highlight of Xuande furnace is its color, which is integrated internally.

Zhang Weiguo couldn't let it go.

No one knows how much time had passed before this treasure saw the light of day again.

I don’t know who used such a treasure to burn incense.

Perhaps it is for this reason that this treasure has been preserved.

No one would have thought that an inconspicuous incense burner used every day would be the famous Xuande incense burner in history.
