Hi, can some one please help me with the identification of this piece. I got it from a family friend that was stationed in Japan in the 1950's, and she said that it was an incense burner or hibachi. I was recently told that it was Turkish from the Ottoman Empire. Can someone identify this? It has no makers marks or other distinguishing markins as to period or area of origin, however after being told that it was turkish I did notice some writing on one side of it that may indeed be Turkish. and have tried to attach a picture of the writing.
