Description from the seller

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

Tripod censer with lid (frequently designated in the Far East as Censer or Ding), made in bronze and with a strong influence of traditional Chinese and Japanese decorative style (Meiji period). The piece is composed of symbolic and artistic elements that are very characteristic:
Upper Handle: The perforated lid (to allow the incense smoke to exit) is crowned by a bird-shaped handle (probably a phoenix or a grouse) perched on branches.
Side Handles: The body of the censer features two imposing handles sculpted in the shape of mythical creatures, resembling Oriental dragons or Foo dogs (Qiulin).
Central Panels: The domed central 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 into a matching circular bronze base.

Approximate average dimensions - 14*16 cm
