This is a masterpiece of Kyo-yaki (Kyoto ware) and Ki-kouchi (yellow glaze), featuring a striking incense container with a powerful, three-dimensional dragon intricately depicted on a lustrous yellow glaze. The vibrant and deep yellow, characteristic of Ki-kouchi, combined with the lifelike dragon sculpture that seems ready to spring into action, creates a memorable impression. Despite its palm-sized dimensions, it exudes a solid sense of dignity. It is recommended not only as an incense container but also for its aesthetic appeal when paired with other tea ceremony utensils, or as a decorative incense container and collectible. Dimensions: Diameter: Approx. 5.8 cm Inner Diameter: Approx. 4.8 cm Height: Approx. 2.8 cm Condition: As this item has been stored without its original box, there are some minor scuffs on the base. However, there are no noticeable chips or cracks, and the overall condition is good. There is an inscription on the bottom (please refer to the photos). Immediate purchase is welcome.
