Description from the seller
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
