香炉是古代一种鼎炉形器物,旧时庙堂里的香炉大多为铜、铁铸成,有些器型较小的香炉是用玉、石、陶、瓷、木、铜等制成。有盖的香炉可内置香料,点燃后香雾烟气自盖孔中袅袅升腾弥漫、时聚时散,给人以无限遐想。最初人们用香炉仅仅为了礼仪,将所穿衣物薰香;也有文人雅士喜欢在书房内焚上一柱香,营造“红袖添香夜读书”的意境;后来无盖香炉出现,逐渐演变为用于焚香祭拜。在古代,焚香祭拜时通常用的都是三足香炉,而在汉代前,我国就出现过以陶、瓷、铜、铁、瓦为材料制成的香炉;到了元末明初,随着铜器铸造业的迅速发展,其它材料的香炉逐渐被铜制香炉所取代,明代宣德年间是铜香炉制作的巅峰阶段。为保证香炉的质量,工艺师挑选了金、银等几十种贵重金属,与红铜一起经过十多次的精心铸炼,成品后的铜香炉色泽晶莹而温润,实为明代工艺品中的珍品。宣德炉的铸造成功,开启了后世铜炉的先河,在很长一段历史中,宣德炉成为铜香炉的通称。经过数百年的风风雨雨,真正宣德年间铸造的铜香炉极为罕见。
