AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Monumental Japanese/Korean cast brass fire bowl (hibachi) – Late Meiji period (ca. 1890–1912)
Monumental and solidly executed cast yellow brass brass fire bowl (hibachi / brazier) on three profiled legs. Attributed to Japan (or possibly Korea), dating from the late Meiji period (ca. 1890–1912).
Construction & Finish
The bowl is heavily cast in bronze/brass and traditionally finished on the lathe, which is clearly recognizable by the deep concentric turning grooves on the underside and the inner wall. The three stout, faceted legs are provided with decorative collars and robustly attached to the tub with rivets.
Decoration & Iconography
The wide, protruding rim is hand-engraved and features fine punchwork:
Fish / Carp: Stylized representation of a carp with fan fins and fine scale markings (in East Asian tradition a favored symbol of prosperity and strength).
Lotus motif: Open, spreading lotus flower with radiating veins.
Two circular medallions: Equipped with stylized characters / seal marks (mon or house seals) and curved ornamentation.
Edge finish: Fine punched crescent moons and concentric engraving lines along the edges.
