Vintage - Incense Bowl- Hoozuki

The incense container is designed to resemble the shape of a hōzuki (Chinese lantern plant). It is crafted using a mold taken from a real hōzuki, so the size and color closely match the original, preserving its texture. Although it is intended as an incense container for tea ceremonies, it can also serve as a small item holder or an accessory container. It makes a charming room accessory when placed in any room.
