Decorative ornament - Germany - Koro

Koro (perfume burner) Japanese, manufactured during the late Meiji or Taisho period (approximately between 1900 and 1925)

Tripod censer with lid (often designated in the Far East as a Censer or Ding), cast in bronze and with a strong influence from traditional Chinese and Japanese decorative styles (Meiji period). The piece is composed of symbolic and highly characteristic artistic elements:
Upper Handle: The pierced lid (to allow the incense smoke to escape) is crowned by a bird-shaped handle (probably a phoenix or grouse) perched on branches.
Side Handles: The censer body features two imposing handles sculpted in the shape of mythological creatures, resembling oriental dragons or Foo dogs (Qiulin).
Central Panels: The central domed section displays cartouches or relief panels with textured naturalistic motifs, depicting chrysanthemum flowers and foliage.
Tripod Structure and Base: The body rests on three organic legs that simulate roots or tree trunks, which in turn fit onto a matching bronze circular base.

Approximate average dimensions - 14 × 16 cm
