Found this at a yard sale,,,But I can't find the makers mark any where on line.
Any body out there up on this sort of thing? By the way it is a three piece thing.

Yeah, it's an incense burner. As to the age or value, I couldn't tell you. You posted the makers mark in your second photo. The key to identifying it is figuring out that mark.

Found this on flickr , looks very similar:

Antique Chinese censer incense burner 1426-1435 AD Xuande era | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
It descibes it as a
"Antique Chinese censer incense burner 1426-1435 AD Xuande era

This has applied legs and handles.It also has Xuande mark on base which would date it being made betwen 1426 and 1435 AD.The raised design on the sides and cover appear to be cherry or apple blossoms and feet and handles are like twigs of wood."

This could be something special or a reproduction

Very pretty piece!

I found this, yours is prettier/more elaborate, and this one is centuries old, but you never know : ) As for the maker's mark, that may take awhile to find.

I was just joking. Based on the picture I would guess its a better quality reproduction or the real deal
Either way it's a great find and worth more than $5

So I'll Up my offer to $5 and a 1985 Rollie Fingers Baseball Card
