Mansei Silver and Brass Rabbit Incense Stand with Ruby

A tiny silver rabbit that doubles as an incense holder, on a brass base, by metal artist Mansei.

Mansei is a metal artist whose small works appear at the gallery alongside contemporary netsuke. This kō-tate (incense stand) is made in silver, brass and ruby: a palm-sized rabbit sits on its own base plate and holds a stick of incense. Incense stands are a natural small-format subject for Japanese metalwork, used daily and kept close at hand, and this one is as much a miniature sculpture as a practical object. A refined gift for anyone who burns incense or collects small metalwork.
