Item Description A set of two incense burners in the style of ancient Chinese ritual bronzes, finished in a dark green patina. One is a tall, flared beaker form in the manner of a gu. The other is a compact, rounded lidded jar with a pointed finial and a serrated-flange lid. Both are covered in dense relief decoration of archaic taotie and geometric scroll motifs, with notched flanges on the body and base. The bottom of the lidded burner is marked with the Sumitomo Bank logo, "Sumitomo Bank" and "Heisei 7" (1995), plus a seal mark. The larger piece carries the Sumitomo logo and a seal mark on its base. Together they make an attractive pair for collectors of Japanese metalwork and archaic-style bronzes.

Due to the changes to the EU tax-free (VAT) system, Japan Post has become unable to ship certain goods valued at €150 or less to an increasing number of European countries. Depending on the destination and circumstances, the shipping method may therefore be changed from Japan Post to DHL. Delivery normally takes approximately 3 weeks, or up to 3 months if the item is shipped by sea. Please note that import duties, taxes, customs fees, and other charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer’s responsibility. For customs clearance, your local customs office or delivery company may contact you by phone or email. To avoid any delays or the return of the parcel, please ensure that you can respond promptly to any such requests. If the parcel is returned due to an inability to contact you or complete customs clearance, additional shipping charges, which may be more than twice the original shipping cost, will apply for reshipment.
