This old Chinese bronze incense burner belonged to my grandfather, Dr. Herbert Watney (1843-1932) . He probably bought it when he was in China as a medical missionary in the 1870's. 
Unfortunately the feet are damaged so it cannot stand. I would love to have the feet repaired or replaced and I would be very grateful to anyone who could help in this regard.

If this partridge could stand it would be 5 inches tall. It measures 6 inches from beak to tail. There are marks inside, which show it has been used as an incense burner many years ago. I treasure this item since it was one of the last gifts my mother gave me in 1970.
