Vintage Japanese Celadon-Glazed Tripod Koro With Dragon, Incense Burner, Showa Era (SKU 25D-016-1)

Celadon-glazed tripod koro with dragon finial lid from Showa-era Japan

This vintage Japanese koro (incense burner) features a soft blue-green celadon glaze over a rounded tripod form, echoing classical Chinese bronze ritual vessels reinterpreted in modern Japan. The elegant, upturned legs and paired loop handles give the piece a light, poised stance, ideal for a tokonoma alcove, butsudan, or contemplative incense corner.

The domed lid is sculpted with swirling cloud motifs and topped by a stylized dragon or shishi guardian, its open mouth and cut-outs allowing fragrant smoke to drift gently into the room. Inside, a removable perforated insert supports incense while protecting the outer walls, making this Showa-era koro both decorative and practical for daily use or tea ceremony-inspired display.

  • Era: Showa period (vintage)
  • Material: Glazed ceramic (celadon-style)

A refined yet characterful koro that brings the quiet ritual of Japanese incense into any interior.

 

As part of our mission to preserve and share Japanese craftsmanship, we offer antiques that were made not just to be admired, but to be used. These pieces were crafted for everyday life, and we honor their purpose by ensuring they can continue to be enjoyed and lived with today.

We use professional studio lighting to highlight the natural character of the wood. As a result, the tone may appear slightly warmer than under natural daylight.

All vintage and antique items are sold as-is. Each piece may exhibit signs of age, including scratches, wear, or minor imperfections. These are not considered defects but natural evidence of the item’s authenticity and age.
