Earthenware Hibachi 'Eagle', Shōwa Period, Japan.

Unique terracotta hibachi with a beautiful traditional Japanese decoration.

Dimensions: height 24 cm, diameter 26 cm. The hibachi has the maker's stamp at the bottom.

The front features an eagle in flight, with detailed golden accents on its wings and talons, hovering above rolling waves, evoking a sense of dynamism and movement. In the background, there is a stylized mountain landscape with a sun.

The combination of the powerful predator and the serene nature creates a symbolic image of strength, freedom, and harmony.

On the back, Japanese calligraphy indicates that it was given as a gift in 1948.

Originally used to heat rooms and prepare tea, hibachis are now often used as decorative objects and even as unique plant stands.
