About the Item

Filled with burning coals, this petite 19th-century brass brazier once warmed the hands of a well-to-do person on a cold winter's night in northern China. The brazier is crafted of white brass (baitong) in a rectangular form, complete with a hinged handle and a removable lid with flower petal perforations. A keepsake from a bygone era, the petite hand-warmer lives on as a decorative box accenting a bookcase or console table.
