Description from the seller

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

Tripod incense burner with lid (often designated in the Far East as Censer or Ding), made in bronze with a strong influence of the traditional Chinese and Japanese decorative styles (Meiji period). The piece is composed of symbols and artistic elements that are very characteristic:
- Upper Handle: The perforated lid (to allow incense smoke to escape) is crowned by a bird-shaped handle (probably a phoenix or crane) perched on branches.
- Side Handles: The body of the incense burner features two imposing handles carved in the shape of mythical creatures, resembling Eastern dragons or Foo Dogs (Qiulin).
- Central Panels: The domed central section displays relief panels with textured naturalistic motifs, depicting chrysanthemums and foliage.
- Tripod Structure and Base: The body rests on three organic legs that simulate roots or tree trunks, which fit into a matching circular bronze base.

Approximate average dimensions - 14*16 cm
