Description from the seller
Item Description
A set of two incense burners in the style of ancient Chinese ritual bronzes, finished in a dark green patina. One is a tall, flared beaker form in the manner of a gu. The other is a compact, rounded lidded jar with a pointed finial and a serrated-flange lid. Both are covered in dense relief decoration of archaic taotie and geometric scroll motifs, with notched flanges on the body and base. The bottom of the lidded burner is marked with the Sumitomo Bank logo, "Sumitomo Bank" and "Heisei 7" (1995), plus a seal mark. The larger piece carries the Sumitomo logo and a seal mark on its base. Together they make an attractive pair for collectors of Japanese metalwork and archaic-style bronzes.

The item will be carefully packaged and shipped by Japan Post or DHL, depending on the situation.
Due to the changes to the EU tax-free (VAT) system, Japan Post has become unable to ship certain goods valued at €150 or less to an increasing number of European countries. Depending on the destination and circumstances, the shipping method may therefore be changed from Japan Post to DHL.
Delivery normally takes approximately 3 weeks, or up to 3 months if the item is shipped by sea.

For customs clearance, your local customs office or delivery company may contact you by phone or email. To avoid any delays or the return of the parcel, please ensure that you can respond promptly to any such requests.

Seller's Story
A Japanese living in Japan, I appreciate traditional and modern art.
I specialize in selecting artworks that reflect quiet strength, refined beauty, and timeless craftsmanship of Japanese culture. My collection focuses on pieces that carry a story—whether traditional ukiyo‑e prints, contemporary works inspired by wabi‑sabi aesthetics, or handcrafted items created by regional artisans.
With years of experience working closely with artists, studios, and collectors across Japan, I take pride in offering works that are both visually compelling and culturally meaningful. Every item is carefully curated for authenticity, condition, and artistic value, ensuring that bidders can participate with confidence.
My goal is to connect international collectors with the richness of Japanese artistry—pieces that bring harmony, character, and a touch of Japan’s spirit into your home.
I look forward to sharing these works with you and hope they inspire the same appreciation and joy they bring to me :)
