This listing is for a vintage kogo made around 12 years ago.  It is wheel-thrown and the lid is decorated with a blue dragon.  Its size and shape is suitable for holding both woodchip and kneaded incense, though pottery kogo are typically used for kneaded incense during the cooler months. This piece was most likely made to commemorate the Year of the Dragon in 2012. 

Kogo are for holding incense during the tea ceremony. Kogo vary depending on the season. In summer wooden kogo are used for holding chips of incense wood, and in winter ceramic kogo are used for holding kneaded incense intended for the hearth. During the tea ceremony, incense is added to the charcoal fire during the charcoal-laying procedure.
