Product Description
This handcrafted ceramic incense burner captures the poetic moment when xuan paper burns—its edges curling, its surface opening into irregular, ember-like holes. The smoke rises gently through these openings, creating the impression of words and memories dissolving into air.
Unlike the incense plates in the same series, this vessel carries an entire engraved classical poem, transforming the piece into a sculptural artifact that preserves literature, flame, and time all at once. It is compatible with both stick incense and cone incense, allowing the drifting smoke to animate the carved calligraphy and burn-hole silhouettes.
The design reflects a contemporary interpretation of Chinese aesthetics: a meditation on the fading and renewal of cultural memory—on how the past burns away, yet leaves its traces glowing.
This is a custom edition, allowing clients to choose their preferred glaze color and select any ancient poem or text they wish to have hand-carved onto the surface. An elegant, meaningful, and deeply personal gift for collectors, tea-room owners, writers, or anyone who appreciates art rooted in tradition. Each burner is entirely handmade and one of a kind.
