This Japanese bronze incense burner dates from the Meiji period around 1900 and exhibits a dark brown finish throughout the cast metal surface. The vessel incorporates a removable cover topped by a shishi lion guardian finial, detailed floral relief panels on the central body, and winged phoenix handles curving outward from each side. Four distinct masked beast-head legs support the vessel, descending to a stepped rounded base decorated with low-relief carvings and a central aperture. The entire object stands 26 cm high. This decorative piece suits placement on a mantelpiece or within a gentleman's library setting to hold aromatic resins or incense.

FAQs

A koro is a traditional Japanese vessel designed for burning incense, historically utilised in Buddhist rituals and tea ceremonies before becoming prominent decorative objects during the Meiji period.

They are typically crafted from cast bronze using lost-wax casting techniques, featuring hand-chiselled relief decorations, attached handles, and patinated bronze surface finishes.

Authentic period pieces often exhibit high-relief detailing, crisp hand-finished surface textures, naturalistic animal or botanical motifs, substantial weight, and original dark patination.

An antique bronze koro serves as a focal accent on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or bookshelf, pairing naturally with dark wood tones, minimalist ceramics, or stone surfaces.

Dust regularly with a dry, soft microfibre cloth and avoid chemical polishes that strip historical oxidation, applying a thin layer of microcrystalline wax if conservation is required.
