Setoyaki Koharubana Shoju Black Glaze Three-Legged Incense Burner with Pierced Lid Ceramic Incense Burner Tea Ceremony Utensil

This is a substantial ceramic incense burner with three legs, featuring a beautiful, calm black glaze and a rich texture.

The lid, delicately carved with a floral pattern, allows incense smoke to gently rise, making it not only a practical item but also a striking piece for interior decoration or display.

With its twisted handles and three-legged design, it possesses a profound, rustic charm reminiscent of folk crafts.

Koharubana (Koharubana Kiln) in Seto City, Aichi Prefecture, is a traditional kiln that has been in operation since the Edo period.
This incense burner was fired here and bears the inscriptions 昇寿 (Shōju - meaning long life or rising longevity) and 小春花 (Koharubana) on the bottom.
