Chinese Petite Brass Brazier with Embroidered Pouch, c. 1850

About the Item

Filled with burning coals, this petite 19th-century brass brazier once warmed the hands of a well-to-do person on a cold winter's night in northern China. The brazier is crafted of white brass in a rectangular form, complete with a hinged handle and an intricately pierced lid with a chrysanthemum pattern. An unusual find, the brazier also includes an insulating drawstring case of black silk and red cotton embroidered with flowers and eternal knots. Minor unraveling to embroidery. From the collection of Frances and Gary Comer.
