See more about 'JAPANESE CLOISONNE INCENSE BURNER MEIJI VERY FINE ' 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.
