This copper incense burner dates to Japan's Showa era. Crafted from cast copper, the body features relief ornamentation of scrolling floral vines, flanked by a pair of upright "heaven-piercing" handles, and rests upon three tall legs; the overall lines are crisp and elegant. The lid is intricately openwork to allow for ventilation and is surmounted by a finial in the form of an auspicious mythical beast, lending the piece a charmingly rustic aesthetic. The incense burner exhibits signs of normal preservation and minor surface wear consistent with its age.
