【Product details】

This incense burner is an exquisite manifestation of Japanese maki-e art, distinguished by its pastoral landscape scenes. The body features a pear skin (nashiji) ground adorned with a variety of motifs, each symbolizing a different aspect of nature's beauty: pine trees and fully blossomed cherry trees represent spring's renewal, weeping willows over water convey subtlety and grace, autumn leaves suggest the passing of time, and pine with plum trees against a boat scene evoke winter's resilience.

The four sides of this burner are meticulously decorated with gold foil flakes sprinkled on the rocks, adding a textural richness to the design. Accompanying the burner is a sophisticated pure silver filigree lid, which completes the luxurious aesthetic. It is housed in a wood box, not original to the piece, yet complementary.

Noticeable upon close inspection is a faint scratch on the upper left of the boat scene and minor surface wear indicative of age and use. The base is signed by the artist, attesting to its authenticity. Despite these subtle signs of its historical journey, the condition is overall good. Please see the photos for a visual reference to its state.

Dimensions: approx. H 11 cm W 7.8 cm D 7.8 cm
