Such bronzes, as the present lot, were crafted primarily for the domestic Chinese market. It is likely that these artefacts were utilised by Muslim communities residing within China, including both foreign Muslims and indigenous Chinese Muslims. Notably, during the Ming dynasty, the Hongzhi and Zhengde emperors demonstrated a particular interest in Islam, bronzes with Arabic inscriptions were made for the Court use and given as gifts to subjects. See R.D.Mowry, China's Renaissance in Bronze: The Robert H.Clague Collection of Later Chinese Bronzes 1100-1900, Phoenix, 1993, p.127.

Compare with a related Arabic inscribed incense set including a circular box and cover, 16th/17th century, which was sold at Sotheby's New York, 15 March 2017, lot 560. See also a 17th/18th century Arabic inscribed incense box and cover, which was sold at Bonhams London, 8 November 2018, lot 270.
