As part of our Japanese art collection we are delighted to offer this most unusual high quality mixed metal koro or incense burner , this fine and heavy little item is made from a Japanese alloy known as Shibuichi , the technique was devised by mixing alloys with silver to produce a wonderful grey to brown bronze skin, the shibuichi is then inlaid using gold and depicts a pair of ho ho birds amidst a mixture of oriental foliage , the koro is nicely finished off with the addition of a pierced silver lid .

The condition is quite superb ,it is far too heavy a gauge to be dented or damaged and only has minor wear commensurate with its age .

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.
