A lovely Japanese small tripod porcelain pierced lid Koro or sensor, decorated in gilt and multicoloured moriage decoration. The main theme of the decoration is bird and floral. The mark on the base Kireina, Foreign, the term 'Kirie na' basically means pretty in Japanese and the use of the term Foreign was generally used following WWII in order not to identify the country of origin.
This is a lovely little item, with plenty of colour, there is some minor pattern wear, mainly to the gilding, no chips or cracks. It measures 8cm tall by 7.5cm across.
