A lidded brass incense burner in the boshan style — a domed cover perforated so smoke rises through it, on a shallow bowl with a fitted base. Boshan burners are named after a mountain and date to the Han dynasty; this is a modern casting of that form.

Boshan burners take their name from Mount Bo and appear in Chinese tombs from the Han period onward: a bowl, a pierced dome, and smoke that drifts out in ribbons. The form has been continuously copied since, which is what this is — a modern casting, not an antiquity.
The body and lid are brass; the inner cup, where the incense actually sits, is cast iron, which keeps the brass from discolouring. Use it on a trivet or a stone coaster, and never leave it burning unattended.
