Satsuma incense burner
14th Tiberius Auction
Starting price € 60
Japan
Meiji period, 1868-1912
Height without lid approx. 5 cm
Sekizan mark
Knob on lid missing
Small square koro (incense burner) with a round lid and sparsely applied floral and geometric decorations. Two protomes in the shape of shishi heads.
This piece stands out stylistically from the richly decorated examples, which were primarily intended for export to the West, and demonstrates the Japanese approach to aesthetics with a deliberate use of emptiness. Marked by Sekizan, who left behind some great pieces in this style.
