This item is made of copper and features an intricate design with openwork depicting plants, vines, and gourds. It is unclear whether this is a yatate-style ink pot and brush holder or an incense burner. There is dust inside the container, but based on a layman's inspection, there are no obvious traces of ink or incense. Size: Approximately 35cm long / 12cm high / 9cm wide Overall, there is some dust from aging, but there appear to be no noticeable scratches. As I am not a professional, I will ship the item without cleaning it. This is an antique item, so please understand this before purchasing.
