The compressed body has three narrow flanges formed by slip beginning at a slight molded ridge on the shoulder and trailing down each of the three slightly splayed, conical legs, all below the cylindrical neck that rises to a flat, everted rim. The censer is covered overall with a soft sea-green glaze of even tone that thins on the flanges and ends at the bottom of the legs to expose the pale grey ware. With Japanese wood box. PROVENANCE: Purchased from Hirano Kotoken, Japan in 1980s.
