Japanese Moriage Porcelain Koro (Incense Burner)

Description

This is a heavily painted Japanese moriage porcelain Koro (incense burner).  The handles are adorned with Komainu dogs (similar to Chinese Fu dogs).  I believe the item is circa 1950's, but I don't recognize the mark at the bottom - although I believe it to be the mark of the importer and not the manufacturer.  Any insights appreciated!!
