Large Vintage Japanese Style Cast Iron Yukimi Garden Lantern 24 Pagoda Toro

Large vintage Japanese-style cast-iron Yukimi-doro, or snow-viewing garden lantern. Measures approximately 24 inches tall by 18.5 inches across the broad hexagonal roof. Features a pierced hexagonal firebox with hinged access door, three curved legs, and removable roof finial. Likely dates from the mid-20th century, although it is unmarked and the exact age and country of manufacture are unknown.

Extensively weathered from outdoor use with heavy rust, oxidation, surface scaling, discoloration, and moss or lichen. Original translucent firebox panels are missing.

The structural strength of the iron and operation of the rusted components have not been tested.
