class=\"description\"\u003eAt first glance, the \u003cstrong\u003eLiufang Minglu (Hexagonal Ming Censer)\u003c\/strong\u003e might appear to be a traditional classic. In fact, it is a recent original design by master \u003cstrong\u003eWu Jianming\u003c\/strong\u003e, inspired by the \u003cstrong\u003eXuande bronze censers\u003c\/strong\u003e of the Ming dynasty. The form is ancient and minimalist, yet deceptively challenging. The body is slightly flattened with a pronounced belly— demanding a shape that is \u003cstrong\u003eflat but not sunken, rounded and full\u003c\/strong\u003e. This piece takes the Minglu foundation and transforms the round form into a \u003cstrong\u003ehexagonal square ware\u003c\/strong\u003e, resulting in an elegant, dignified vessel. Contemporary artisan \u003cstrong\u003eLiu Ye\u003c\/strong\u003e executes this demanding design with exceptional precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlights\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eClay\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eCinnabar Clay (Zisha)\u003cbr\u003e\nRich brown, classic texture\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003e180 cc\u003cbr\u003e\nIdeal for solo or double sessions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eDesigner\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eWu Jianming (original)\u003cbr\u003e\nXuande censer lineage\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-label\"\u003eForm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"highlight-value\"\u003eHexagonal · Flat belly\u003cbr\u003e\nRound-to-square fusion\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cul class=\"feature-list\"\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e▸ Original hexagonal censer\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eWu Jianming’s design reinterprets the classic Ming bronze censer into a hexagonal teapot.
