This exquisite incense burner is a fine example of traditional Kutani-yaki, crafted in Japan and featuring the classic “Hanazume” (flower-filled) design on a rich black background. It showcases vibrant, hand-painted floral patterns in meticulous detail.
Kutani-yaki, with its origins in the 17th century, is celebrated for its bold use of color and intricate brushwork. The vivid flowers in red, gold, green, yellow, and purple represent prosperity, harmony, and beauty—each bloom carefully arranged to create a rich, luxurious aesthetic. The lid, designed with delicate cutouts, allows fragrant incense smoke to waft gently through, making this both a functional and decorative item. It comes in a traditional wooden box, making it an ideal gift or collector’s item. A perfect blend of artistry and elegance, this piece brings a refined Japanese touch to any space.
