Subject:Help needed to Identify Chinese Censer / Japanese Koro

Hi, Can someone please help me to identify this item. Ive looked all over the net and through all our reference books and can find nothing quite like it. I believe it to be bronze Incense Burner (but we may be wrong). It has a dragon on each handle. They are unusual in that they look as if they have a trunk for a nose. Also the dragons have 5 toes, and the base of the item has 3 x five toed feet. Very fine pierced work with Dragons depicted to the sides. No makers marks at all that I can find. Is it Chinese? Is it a Incense Burner? Any idea of age? It measures approx 12" tall and 10" wide (dragon to dragon. It weighs 1.5Kg. Any and all help appreciated.
