The lid is surmounted by a small bird finial; the whole sits on a separate hardwood stand. Cast using the lost-wax method, the piece is characteristic of the Meiji-period ambition to bring maximum technical elaboration to small-scale bronze objects. The dark, settled patina and the evenness of the relief suggest a work made for display in a formal interior — a tea room or study — rather than daily ceremonial use.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSold individually.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VNTG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45116310126787,"sku":"VNTG01","price":775.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0646\/2567\/2387\/files\/20250219_JADE.GRAIN_28_0121copy2.jpg?v=1773147666","url":"https:\/\/jadegrain.com\/products\/bronze-arabesque-incense-burner","provider":"Jade Grain","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
