Censer (Italy), probably 18th century

A panelled octagonal foot resolves into a twisted knop to a round gadrooned bowl, the upper rim of which bears four pierced lugs to receive chains. The lugs are matched on the base of the pierced top which is in the general form of an octagonal tower with voluted beam ends and an imbricated faceted roof.
