宣德爐，為明朝宣德年間創制的焚香之爐，通常用于陵墓、寺廟及權勢之家燒香，拜佛、祭祖神。
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.
明朝300年間，制作了不可勝數的器物，可稱上乘之作。宣德爐作為其中的一種，可謂前無所師法，后無能為繼，不愧為天地間一精美絕倫的古董，是我國古代工匠智慧和藝術的結晶。
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.
宣德爐的基本形制是敞口、方唇或圓唇，頸矮而細，扁鼓腹，三鈍錐形實足或分襠空足，口沿上置橋形耳或了形耳或獸形耳，銘文年款多于爐外底，與宣德瓷器款近似。
The basic shape of Xuande furnace is open mouth, square lip or round lip, short and thin neck, flat drum belly, three blunt cone-shaped solid feet or split crotch empty feet, with bridge shaped ears or shaped ears or animal shaped ears on the edge of the mouth. The inscriptions are more than the outer bottom of the furnace, similar to Xuande porcelain.
宣德爐的特色:一是原料多，除銅之外，還有金、銀等貴重材料加入，所以爐質特別細膩，呈暗紫色或黑褐色。二是煉次繁，一般爐料要經四煉，而宣德爐要經十二煉，因此爐質會更加純細，如嬰兒膚。流傳歷史
Xuande furnace features: first, there are many raw materials, in addition to copper, there are gold, silver and other valuable materials added, so the furnace quality is particularly delicate, dark purple or dark brown. Second, refining is secondary. Generally, the furnace burden should be refined four times, while Xuande furnace should be refined 12 times. Therefore, the furnace quality will be more pure and fine, such as baby skin. Spread history
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。
During the reign of emperor Xuande, it is 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.
宣德爐在宣德中期模仿宋代的燒斑，掩蓋了爐的本質，就用一種外國產的鹵液浸潤、擦拭、薰洗，把色彩變為蠟茶。到了宣德末期，則更加顯示它自然色澤，著色更淡。后人評論說，宣德爐有五等色:栗殼、茄皮、棠梨、褐色，而以佛經紙的色澤為第一。鎏金的爐腹下鑄成祥云涌起的樣子，鎏金的爐口下部為祥云翻覆的樣子。至于雞皮色，則是著火氣長了才出現的。
In the middle period of Xuande, Xuande stove imitated the burning spot of Song Dynasty, which covered up the essence of the furnace. It soaked, wiped and smoked with a kind of foreign bittern to change the color into wax tea. At the end of Xuande, it showed more natural color and lighter coloring. Later generations commented that Xuande furnace has five colors: chestnut shell, eggplant skin, Tang pear and brown, and the color of Buddhist Scripture paper is the first. Under the gilded hearth, auspicious clouds are cast, and the lower part of the furnace mouth is the appearance of Xiangyun overturning. As for the color of chicken skin, it appears only after a long period of anger.
