The beauty of this smoker is nothing short of me
Sure enough, the rich don't understand the world, and the poor don't understand
You see it's all over the gilt and silver, finely carved
It is truly a rare work of art
The upper part of the furnace body is embossed with four golden dragons
The dragon's head looked back, and the dragon's body rose from the waves
The lower part of the furnace body is carved with a dragon pattern
The background color is gilded silver, and the dragon body is gilded
The entire smoker is divided into three decorative areas
A total of nine dragons adorn the room
The base of the smoker is carved with two dragons
The two dragons held their heads high and bit down on the bamboo handles
The slub-shaped handle is divided into five sections, and bamboo leaves are also carved on the knots
At the top of the handle, there are three dragons holding up the smoker
Inscriptions are engraved on the outside of the furnace mouth and the outside of the ring foot
It was originally a thing in the Weiyang Palace, and then returned to the Yang Xin family
The recommendation may have been given to his sister by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Princess Yang Nobunaga and her husband, the general Wei Qing
