This is a quite handsome round kogo - covered box - made of nickel with copper overlays. The top of the box has an elaborately detailed carving of a phoenix or ho-o bird. (This bird traditionally represented the Empress). The sides have a series of relief designs of flowers, fans, birds, and nature subjects. As long as you are checking out this item at auction, we invite you to take a look at our 1,000 + Asian Antiques items at ichibanantiques.com. We believe that the piece was stamped out of a nickel/silver alloy and that the raised relief decorations on the top and sides were added and then chased to produce these delicate designs. The kogo measures 3" diameter and is 1" high. It is in excellent condition with no cracks or chips. We date it to the late Meiji to early Showa period, circa 1910-1930s. |
