Museum Rare Edo Bakumatsu Nanban Porcelain Koro Incense Burner Fuku Mark

£2,200.00
A museum-quality porcelain Koro (incense burner) from the late Edo period, Bakumatsu era (1853-1867). This rare piece captures the celebrated Nanban subject matter depicting European ships and figures during Japan's historic reopening to the West.

The hand-crafted nature of the piece is immediately apparent in the subtle irregularities visible on the base and within the interior, preserving the individuality of authentic Edo-period workshop production. Unlike later export wares, this Koro possesses the refinement and artistic depth associated with high-quality late Edo decorative porcelain.

The decoration is richly executed with vibrant enamels and heavy gilding. Elephant-head handles with free-moving rings remain intact, while the lid is crowned with a beautifully preserved Shishi finial holding a golden ball.

The base bears the hand-painted "Fuku" mark in the distinctive style associated with the "Zoshuntei Sanpo Zo" workshop of Hisatomi Yojibei I, linked to the earliest authorised export production from Arita beginning in 1841.

Height with lid: 15.5 cm
Width: 11 cm

Weight: 613 g

Condition:
