LARGE SIGNED JAPANESE SATSUMA KORO INCENSE CENSER WITH GILT FOO DOG FINIAL/HANDLES. Measures approximately 12" high by 8 3/4" wide (handle to handle) by 7 1/4 in diameter. Exquisite detail - considerably better than most Satsuma censers I have seen. Light wear throughout - especially the loss of gilding on the finial and handles over the years. I suspect this is from the Meiji period (1868 - 1912) although it could be a bit later.
Signed on the underside - see photos. Other than light wear, it is in excellent original condition with the exception that one of the feet has been cracked/broken but repaired.
