A fine bronze incense burner in the form of a lion, using the traditional lion motif as a symbol of strength and protection. It is functional and also has artistic and collecting value, a piece worth treasuring. The whole burner is finely modelled, particularly the lion's facial expression and mane, showing the high skill of traditional craftsmen.
This incense burner is made using traditional Japanese iron-casting techniques, its form inspired by an elegant bird, showing the refinement and delicacy particular to Japanese craft. The bird's body is finely modelled and shows natural oxidation from age, giving it a strong antique character. The piece is attracted to a magnet, indicating that it is a high-purity cast-iron product of reliable quality. The design combines function and art: several openings in the bird's body allow the incense fragrance to disperse evenly, bringing a calm, peaceful atmosphere to the room. It suits a tea setting, meditation room, study or Japanese-style interior, adding an elegant touch. (Magnetic)
A Japanese cast-iron incense burner in the form of a horse, with a simple yet elegant design of both collecting and practical value. In Japanese culture the horse is a symbol of strength, loyalty and good fortune, often seen at temples, in old houses and as feng shui ornaments, carrying meanings of blessing and protection of the home. The burner is handmade from high-quality cast iron, heavy and solid in the hand. Over the years it has developed a distinctive, naturally oxidised mottled texture that conveys a sense of history and time. Unlike modern reproductions, its aged character is the genuine mark of the years, adding to the charm of an old piece.
This is a ceramic incense burner in the style of Shigaraki ware, one of Japan's traditional Six Ancient Kilns. Hand-formed and fired, it expresses a strong Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic. The incense burner has a distinctive form: it stands on three feet, and above is a domed, perforated lid through whose many round holes the smoke drifts out naturally, creating a soft and graceful flow. The surface shows natural kiln-transformation colouring, fire marks and traces of running ash glaze, presenting the earthy texture and patina of age that make Shigaraki ware so appealing. Because every firing environment differs, each piece develops its own unique texture and colour variations, giving it high artistic and collecting value. It is not only a practical utensil for incense but also a work of art expressing Japanese ceramic culture and the aesthetics of daily life.
This vintage Japanese incense burner combines cloisonné enamel on a copper body, bronze-toned metalwork and a lid with a mythical beast finial. Though not large, it is richly layered in decoration, a refined display piece with both classical Eastern character and the appeal of collectible metalwork. The burner has a round body on three feet, with symmetrical scrolled handles on either side whose outward-sweeping lines give the silhouette a dignified air. The most striking part of the body is the central band of cloisonné-style enamel in blue-green tones: blue, teal, white and reddish brown form continuous scrolling foliage, ruyi and geometric designs, making a beautiful contrast of cool and warm against the bronze-colored metal above. The domed lid is decorated with a continuous tortoiseshell pattern and topped by a small mythical beast finial. The crouching beast serves as a practical handle while adding a sculptural layer to this small object.
A Japanese-made butsudan of lacquer over a wooden core, hand-coated in the traditional black lacquer (Kuro-urushi) technique. The surface is mirror-bright and the lacquer deep and restrained, at once solemn and modern in its simplicity. The form is square and upright and well proportioned, and the doors have framed panels with relief lines that create a subtle play of layers and rhythm in light and shadow — understated but not monotonous. The interior is square and clean, able to hold a small Buddhist figure, omamori, ihai memorial tablets, an incense box, an incense burner and the like; it can also serve as a display cabinet at the end of a tea setting or a case for incense wares. Its calm black tone sets off the luster of offerings and objects, and whether placed in a tatami room, on an entryway table or in a Zen-style space, it brings a quiet, sacred atmosphere.
A small jewelry cabinet made in Kobe in 1952, crafted in STERLING SILVER. The double-door body is finely engraved with flowers and foliage, and the doors, hinges and clasps show layers of classical metalwork. Over the years the silver has naturally oxidized into varied tones and signs of use, making the delicate engraving stand out more vividly in light and shadow.
Wearing an ornate jeweled crown, draped in celestial robes and necklaces, the figure sits in the "royal ease" posture, one leg raised and the other hanging naturally, capturing the graceful, relaxed pose of Water-Moon Guanyin. The face is lowered with a calm expression, and the bronze-toned finish is naturally deep and steady — well suited to a tea room, study or quiet space.
Every piece has weathered centuries. We bring an exacting, professional approach to antique art to every handover and delivery.
We keep searching all over Japan for antiques and vintage pieces with character — ceramics, tea ceremony utensils, vases, wood carvings, furniture and Shōwa-era goods — and bring them across the sea to DASING.
Items are photographed as they are, showing color, texture, detail and actual appearance as closely as possible, so buying online comes closer to seeing them in person.
Antiques often show wear, oxidation, kiln flaws, repairs or other signs of age. We show these as fully as we can in photos and item descriptions, so you can understand each piece before deciding to buy.
