This is a refined Japanese antique bronze incense burner (kōro), featuring a three-legged (tripod) form with an elegant pierced lid and subtle leaf motif relief decoration around the body. The compact yet well-balanced shape, combined with the dark patina and traditional casting details, reflects the aesthetics of late Meiji to Taishō period Japan (circa 1890–1920). The pierced lid allows incense smoke to diffuse gently, making it both a functional incense burner and a decorative object suitable for display. The bronze surface shows natural aging consistent with its age, enhancing its authentic character. No modern markings or signatures are visible, which is typical for utilitarian incense vessels of this era. This piece is ideal for collectors of Japanese metalwork, tea ceremony objects, or interior décor with a historical Asian accent.
