About the Item

Japanese Enameled Bronze Incense Burner – 19th Century Elegant and refined, this 19th-century Japanese incense burner perfectly embodies the exceptional craftsmanship of the Meiji era. Crafted from finely chiselled bronze and adorned with multicolored enamels, it features a rich décor of traditional motifs evoking nature and symbols of prosperity. The deep patina of the bronze harmonizes beautifully with the still-vibrant enamel colors, a testament to the technical mastery of Japanese artisans of the period. Its delicately pierced lid allows perfumed smoke to escape gracefully, turning each ritual into a moment of contemplation. Both functional and decorative, this piece will find its place equally well in an Asian art collection or as a statement piece in an elegant interior. Its remarkable state of preservation makes it a rare witness to 19th-century Japanese savoir-faire. This piece bears a stamp, testifying to its authenticity.
