Beautiful Antique Handmade Japanese Sterling Silver Kogo Fan Shaped Incense Box
This stunning Kogo was hand made around the 1900s in the late Meiji period in Japan and features a masterfully executed fan shaped box with a side sliding lid engraved with traditional symbols that probably are related to the tea ceremony.
Kogos were (and are still) used to store incense for burning at the traditional Japanese tea ceremony.
This great piece measures 4 1/2" long x 1" wide x 5/16" high and weighs
26.4 grams. Marked with Japanese signs and made from 950 Sterling Silver. Very good vintage condition with some patina according to age which can easily be polished away if desired.
Very unusual and beautiful piece!
