Incense burner - A fine Gosu blue Satsuma koro finely...

A Japanese Gosu Blue Satsuma incense burner (koro) decorated with a rich composition of blooming chrysanthemums, a symbol of longevity and perfection in Japanese culture and imperial iconography. The flowers are meticulously painted using enamels in shades of red, blue and green enriched with gold detailing, in keeping with the Gosu aesthetic. The lid is made of finely pierced and chiselled silver, also featuring floral motifs. Satsuma ware is one of the finest expressions of Japanese ceramics. Originating from the ancient province of Satsuma (now Kagoshima), it was produced as early as the Edo period (1603–1868) using low-temperature firing, which gives it the characteristic surface with craquelure and vibrant decorations. The koro is in very good condition. Please refer to the pictures for further details. --- We will pack your object with the utmost care and entrust it to DHL or FedEx for delivery within 1–3 days.
