Description
This is a nice size and very fine JAPANESE CLOISONNE INCENSE BURNER done in Kyoto Jippo style. Size is 6 1/4" to top of finial x 6 1/4" from handle to handle. There is a lot going on with this piece. Condition is excellent, with the exception of some extremely minor nicks on some of the vertical red corners of the lid. There is also a slight bend in the metal rim where there is a heart shape opening in the lid (around 11:00). There is a very small amount of missing red enamel next to the rim (last photo) and the bottom third of a small cloisonne circle which is also next to the rim that is missing wire. The handle on the right when looking at the first photo has a slight seperation on the top and bottom where it attaches to the body (approx. 1/16"-- and less in most areas) and has a very small area of red enamel missing in these spots as you can clearly see in the photos. The handle is 100% secure with no movement and has never been repaired. I BELIEVE THIS PROBABLY HAPPENED DURING THE FIRING OF THIS PIECE, AS THIS IS A HIGH STRESS AREA. Photos 8 thru 11 show this. This all sounds a lot worse than it actually is. Take a look at the photos and you will see these are very minor issues. I am just being very critical of the piece. Buyer pays for shipping and insurance. Checks held 10 days.  Overseas buyers paypal only and item will be declared for full amount on customs forms. No exceptions.
