This incense burner emulates Chinese porcelain in its glaze and form. A number of prominent Meiji-period ceramicists explored classical Chinese forms and glazes even as they also produced stoneware with Japanese-style glazes.

wall description:
This incense burner emulates Chinese porcelain. A number of prominent Meiji-period ceramicists explored classical Chinese forms and glazes. Chinese-style tea gatherings (<em>senchakai</em> in Japanese) were popular in Japan, as was the display of Chinese or Chinese-style ceramics in display-alcoves in Japanese-style tea events (<em>chaji </em>or <em>chakai </em>in Japanese).
