Compare with the small celadon-glazed censer of closely related form in the Qing Court Collection, illustrated in The Complete Collection of Treasures of the Palace Museum: Monochrome Porcelain, Hong Kong, 1999, p.224, no.202, described as imitating Guan glaze from the Ming dynasty.

For a small ge-type brush washer of the Yuan or early Ming dynasty displaying similar darker 'iron-wire' crackle with 'golden' threads, see Sotheby's London, 4 November 2020, lot 183.
