Description: This metal incense burner is cast with a continuous band of autumn flowers in relief, set against a geometric kagome (woven bamboo) ground. The floral motifs—including chrysanthemum and bellflower—emerge in raised form, their contours moving across the surface in a steady rhythm while remaining anchored to the underlying lattice pattern. The body is supported on three short tripod feet, giving the vessel a stable, slightly elevated stance. The lid is worked in openwork (sukashi), where interlaced floral forms create a network of apertures. From the center rises a finial shaped as a folded leaf, completing the vertical line while allowing incense smoke to pass through the pierced design. Across the surface, the metal carries a subdued silvery tone, with a soft, even luster. The base bears the cast signature "Tanei" (鍛栄), identifying the maker. Dimensions: Diameter: 10.0 cm Height: 12.0 cm Weight: 570 grams Condition: No chips, cracks or restorations. Artist Profile: Tanei / 鍛栄 (Dates unknown). The maker is identified by the "Tanei" mark on the base and the inscription on the accompanying wooden box. While the Tanei Workshop (鍛栄工房) is associated with pewter (tin) production, this piece does not carry a "Pure Tin" (純錫) hallmark. It is therefore treated as decorative metalwork in an unidentified alloy, likely a base metal with a silver-colored finish.
