COPPER CHARCOAL BRAZIER / KETTLE BRAZIER, Line-carved and inlaid with butterfly, flower, and bamboo pattern, Meiji Period(1868–1912CE)

Tax included.  |  Flat ¥1,000 shipping (Honshu only, large items excluded)


This is a Meiji-period copper brazier (kettle brazier). The body combines fan-shaped and square decorative panels, with butterflies, flowers, and bamboo rendered in fine line engraving, and flat silver and brass inlay applied in places. The well-worn brown surface quietly sets off the design, creating a refined, composed whole characteristic of Meiji metalwork.

The interior retains soot and verdigris from use. The exterior shows spotty discoloration and abrasions around the rim, yet the copper surface has developed a pleasing patina. Ash was laid inside, and iron kettles or kettles for boiling water were hung.

Please use as a bottle hanger.

For care, avoid excessive polishing; we recommend primarily dry wiping.
