It asks nothing faster than the powder burns. It rewards attention given in small, unhurried measures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis set is made for that practice. The ceramics are white porcelain finished in a plant-ash glaze, a surface that reads soft and luminous in the light, smooth and cool to the touch, with the quiet self-possession of a good tool that knows its own purpose. The three vessels sit together with an easy, considered balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe incense burner is round and low, topped with a pierced bronze-toned lattice lid worked in a leaf-and-vine pattern that lets fragrance rise and spread without rushing. Beside it, the powder jar, squat and sealed with a dark hardwood lid, holds whatever aromatic blend you choose to work with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe taller faceted tool vase keeps the brass instruments upright and ready: a smoothing disc, a pick, a soft brush, and a tamper for pressing the powder firmly into the mold before lighting. The brass seal mold is round and carved with a lotus-form pattern, the shape the powder will take and hold as it burns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA woven incense mat in soft beige, patterned with a fine floral motif, grounds the arrangement and keeps the work surface clear. The set also includes a small box of incense ash to bed the burner. A separate brass stand is included for resting a single stick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe set arrives in a fitted gift box with a printed art card and a matching carry bag. Every piece is seated in cut foam so nothing shifts in transit. Aromatic incense powder is not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e White porcelain with plant-ash glaze; bronze-toned lattice lid; brass tools, seal mold and stand; hardwood jar lid; woven incense mat; incense ash\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burner H 6 cm, diameter 6.5 cm.
