Virtual Museum (Canada)
This link is to a collection at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (Musee des Beaux Arts) QC, Canada.
http://www.virtualmuseum.ca/PM.cgi?LM=Gallery&LANG=English&AP=vmc_search&scope=Gallery&terms=encens+ceramique
You will see a very major collection of incense burners from Asia, mainly Japan.
(In French, they are called: "Boite a Encens" or "Bruleur a Encens".
(For the Francophones on the list, I had to leave the accents off.) (Mille pardons!)
The search has to be performed in French, but there is a fair amount of English on this virtual museum site.
(If you search just for "ceramic" you'll get a very large number of "hits".
Search engine works in French and in English. (But not a lot of synonyms for keywords)
