    Hi,
    Pottery bowl, not heavy but feels like terra cotta, marked 'Made In Japan', 2"H x 5 1/2" diameter, 3 holes along the lower edge. What would this have been used for? I thought maybe incense but not sure.
    any information appreciated
    thanks for looking

    Yes, with the tripod legs and the hole in the base this would be an incense burner.

    Try Tokanabe ware as a search term if you haven't already:)
