About the Item
A highly unusual Japanese crackle glazed koro (incense burner or censer), lacquered and inlaid with mother-of-pearl embellishment, signed Gyokusen, Edo Period, early to mid 19th century, Japan.

The bottom lacquered and signed Gyokusen on a mother-of-pearl plaque.
A beautifully patinated copper lid featuring a hanahisi mon surmounts the censer.
