Japan - 20th century

This is a large cast iron openwork incense burner designed with a strong sculptural presence. The spherical bowl features intricate pierced decoration, allowing smoke and light to pass through, while the heavy cast iron construction gives the piece a powerful visual impact.

Rather than being purely functional, this piece can be appreciated as a sculptural object suitable for interior display. Due to its size, weight, and distinctive design, it functions both as an incense burner and as a decorative object, making it a striking focal point in a collection or living space. The construction consists of multiple separate parts that can be disassembled and reassembled. For shipping safety, all parts will be carefully separated and securely packed to protect each component during transport. Size Height: 26 cm Width: 35 cm Depth: 22 cm Weight 5.5 kg Condition The item shows age-related wear, surface patina, and minor oxidation consistent with cast iron, with no major structural damage observed.
