"Hibachi In Lacquered Wood, Japan Edo Period"
Exceptional Japanese wooden brazier decorated with chrysanthemums in taka maki-e and coral inlays, complete with its copper tank which was used to contain the ash and hot coals, and its wooden bottom.
Very decorative, with a superb patina, this hibachi could very well serve as a cache-pot for bonsai lovers for example...
Japan, early 19th century.
