Comments:Harrison-Hall 2001:This incense-stick holder may have been produced at a kiln which manufactured glazed roof tiles. A glazed ridge tile decorated with a figure of a lion-dog, possibly from a zodiacal series, dating to the Wanli period, is in the De Laszlo Collection, Gulbenkian Museum, Durham.
