Vintage Mid-Century Japanese Satsuma Style Koro Incense Burner:
$35.00
This is a beautiful example of mid-century Japanese export pottery, specifically a decorative koro (incense burner). The piece features a tripod base and is adorned with intricate moriage (raised enamel) detailing, depicting a traditional dragon motif. The lid is topped with a foo dog (shishi) finial, a classic symbol of protection. The color palette is sophisticated, utilizing a \'sunburst\' or \'shaded\' effect transitioning from deep charcoal to cream, accented with hand-painted gold highlights on the handles and finial. The underside clearly displays a stamped \'JAPAN\' mark, indicative of its post-WWII export era. These items were highly popular as souvenirs and home decor during the 1950s and 60s. Its compact size and ornate detailing make it a perfect addition to a shelf display or a collection of Asian-inspired ceramics.
