Description from the seller

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

Tripod censer with lid (often designated in the Far East as Censer or Ding), cast in bronze and with a strong influence of traditional Chinese and Japanese decorative style (Meiji period). The piece is composed of highly characteristic symbolic and artistic elements:
Top Handle: The perforated lid (to allow the 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 censer features two imposing carved handles in the shape of mythological creatures, resembling Oriental dragons or Foo dogs (Qiulin). Central Panels: The domed central section displays 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
