The stand definitely looks Japanese. My friend owns a Japanese restraint with 2 huge jars on them. Will ask him what he thinks.
the stand is just one i have kicking around and used for shooting the pictures.
Sure looks like a censer.
This reminds me of some furniture where I use a bronze tazza to fill with water. I imagine the Chinese used a lot of very small containers to hold water near the precious carved Chryselephantine ivory to keep it humid which helped to keep it supple and its best looking !~
