Meiji Shishi Censer

Antique Japanese Bronze Censer
Shishi Phoenix

Hexagon Oval Incense Burner
Meiji, Circa: 19th century
H 19in.(48cm), W 10 in.(25cm), D 7 in.(18cm)

Condition: One handle loosen, o.a. excellent!

This massive and handsome dark bronze censer epitomizes the elegance and enduring artistry of Japanese craftsmen. Even in the Meiji era when standards of excellence had to meet the challenge of a demanding export market, the essential esthetics of the Japanese tradition persisted. Although this censer is large, it is dwarfed by comparison with a large temple censer which would be kept constantly kindled and which matriculating monks were required to lift and move out of their path as it burned hotly, in order to complete the last few steps of their journey of preparation.

This censer is a household piece embellished with bird and chrysanthemum motifs. The relief carving is lyrical and realistic. On the handles are Phoenix heads; the feet of the censer are curved into foliate forms. The lid is bordered with lotus designs. On the top of the lid is a crouching guardian Foo Dog with flowing mane, its tail thrust upward and divided into three main sections.
