Pair of Small Brass Insense Burners - Israel



SOLD

A pair of charming little incense burners (or candlestick holders at a push) in brass. They each have a small bowl and a fluted stem to a trumpet shaped base and both have a seperate little plate on which to stand. Both the burners and plates are decorated with small discs, some of which are filled with either a tourquoise enamel or verdigris. I can't remove it so I think it's deliberate! The bowls have an inscription in Hebrew, which I will attempt to get translated. The small plates are stamped underneath with a Z in a circle and "Israel Export Quality".

All measurements approx:
9cm (h) x 6.5cm across plate.

Weight with packaging: approx 500g.
