Vintage Blue and White Ceramic Flower Frog or Incense Burner

This is a small rectangular ceramic vessel, likely a flower frog, bough pot, or incense burner, featuring a traditional blue and white aesthetic. Constructed from glazed porcelain or earthenware, the item measures approximately 3-4 inches in length and 2 inches in height. The top surface consists of a lattice-work pierced lid with diamond-shaped openings, allowing for the insertion of stems or the release of smoke. The body is decorated with a transfer-printed or hand-painted lattice and floral starburst pattern on the sides, capped with a thick cobalt blue border along the upper rim. The bottom edge is uniquely scalloped, forming four small feet. The style is reminiscent of 19th-century chinoiserie or Delftware, though the crispness of the pattern suggests a mid-20th-century reproduction. Condition appears good with a bright glaze and no visible major cracks, though there is minor surface dust and possible slight kiln debris characteristic of mass-produced studio pottery. The craftsmanship shows consistent symmetry in the pierced top, indicating a molded manufacturing process.
