Miniature Antique Japanese Satsuma Pottery Censer or Koro

About the Item

A fine antique Japanese Satsuma pottery incense burner. With a cream ground and an extensively gilt exterior. There are numerous cartouches around the censer with each having a unique scene of feudal Japan. The cartouches themselves are shaped to look like camellia/tsubaki flowers, tea bowls/cups, and fans/scrolls. The negative space between the cartouches is richly gilt and decorated with geometric devices and colorfully enameled large chrysanthemums & small camellias. The lid of the koro has a camellia shaped cartouche with 3 small heart shaped holes for smoke to escape. The koro is supported by 3 tiny feet with gilt accents. Simply a wonderfully ornate Japanese Koro! Date: Late 19th or Early 20th Century Overall Condition: It is in overall good, as-pictured, used estate condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Condition Details: There is some fine and light crazing throughout, and some minor rubbing to the gilding here and there. Otherwise, there are some fine & light surface scratches and other signs of expected light wear consistent with age. Marks: Unmarked. There are some very faint blue spots to the bottom that could have been a mark. Measurements: Height: ca. 3 1/2 in. Diameter: ca. 3 in. Items purchased from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 7 days.
