Description from the seller

Ando Cloisonné Incense Burner – A Masterpiece of Japanese Enamel Art

This exceptional incense burner is a superb example of the finest cloisonné work by Ando Cloisonné Company, one of Japan’s most prestigious and historic enamel workshops.
The deep wine-red enamel surface has an extraordinary mirror-like gloss created through multiple layers of hand-applied enamel and high-temperature firing.

The sculptural lid is a true highlight — a dynamic arrangement of slender metal ribs rising like flame or light. It blends traditional craftsmanship with a striking modern aesthetic.
The three-legged form gives the piece a floating, futuristic presence, making it both a functional incense burner and a museum-quality art object.

Maker: Ando Cloisonné Company (Nagoya, Japan)

Technique: Japanese cloisonné enamel

Features: High-gloss enamel surface, sculptural openwork lid, elegant three-legged base

Condition: Excellent, with minor age-appropriate wear

Accessories: Original wooden tomobako (signed storage box)

A rare and beautiful piece, perfect for collectors of Japanese enamel, modern craft, and decorative art.
