click for details		The Old Bazaar 510-910-3922 $275.00
Vintage Brazier or Censer likely a reproduction of an earlier design. At first glance, the overall design appears to be Qajar Persian with the typical themes of birds and deer. However, it is marked with the name of the manufacturer and "made in Greece". The design is subtly carved with pierced areas which will let light through if a candle is burned within. The inside seems to be painted gold, perhaps to enhance reflectivity. This has water marks inside from previous use as a plan ...click for details

click for details		The Old Bazaar 510-910-3922 $125.00

The vase portion measures 9.5" by 8" across, and weighs 4.5 pounds.
