Xuande furnace is a kind of incense burner created in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty. It is usually used in mausoleums, temples and power houses to burn incense, worship Buddha and ancestor gods. During the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, countless artifacts were made, which can be called excellent works. Xuande furnace, as one of them, can be described as having nothing to learn from before, but unable to succeed later. It is worthy of being an exquisite antique between heaven and earth. It is the crystallization of ancient craftsman's wisdom and art.
關于宣德爐的來歷，有史記載宣德皇帝在位時，傳說宮內的佛殿失火，金銀、銅像都混成液體。又傳說是佛典起火，金銀珠寶與銅都燒結在一起，于是宣德皇帝命令將其鑄成銅爐。宣德皇帝詢問鑄工說，銅煉幾次才能精純?鑄工回答說用六火煉銅，就會現出珠寶的光彩。于是宣德皇帝命令煉十二火，把銅做成條。再用赤火熔化銅條，置于鋼鐵制成的篩格上，把先滴下的最精純的選取出來制成爐，把仍存于篩格上的取出來制成其他的器物。
As for the origin of Xuande furnace, there are historical records that when Emperor Xuande was in power, it was said that the Buddha Hall in the palace caught fire, and the gold, silver and bronze statues were mixed into liquid. It is also said that the Buddhist Scripture was on fire, and gold, silver, jewelry and copper were all sintered together, so emperor Xuande ordered it to be cast into a copper furnace. Emperor Xuande asked the caster how many times can copper be refined? The caster replied that if you smelt copper with six heats, you will show the luster of jewelry. So emperor Xuande ordered twelve fires to be made into bars. Then the copper bar is melted in red fire and placed on the screen grid made of iron and steel. The purest one dropped first is selected and made into furnace, and the remaining one is taken out to make other utensils.
