A captivating vintage Japanese ceramic incense burner (koro) in a deep, rich green glaze. The burner stands gracefully on three sturdy legs, a traditional form symbolizing balance and stability in Japanese art.
The highlight of this piece is its lid adorned with a sculpted toad (kawazu) — a creature often associated in Japanese culture with good fortune, transformation, and safe travel. The craftsmanship beautifully captures both the realism and charm of the animal, blending whimsy with refined design.
This incense burner embodies the harmony of form, symbolism, and function found in traditional Japanese ceramics. Its vivid green glaze and intricate details make it an elegant accent for a tea room, meditation space, or art collection.
