Description

From the Sui dynasty through the height of the Tang, countless travelers crossed the desert to reach the Mogao Caves. Cave 130 preserves the scene in The Governor's Wife Worshipping the Buddha: a Tang noblewoman performing ritual with flowers and incense 

We have taken the two ritual vessels from that painting and made them real, as vase-shaped incense tablets. Sealed inside each vase are the flowers and the herbal essence that travelled on the Silk Road thousands of years ago. Lighting the incense is like breaking the seal: the floral and medicinal warmth release all at once, and pale smoke drifts up like mist off a mountain, recreating the ambience of the Mogao ritual where flower and smoke once mingled. Light one vase, sit with it, and let the room become a small, peaceful space of your personal ritual.

Votess II is in the shape of an open-mouthed olive-shaped vase, used to hold the flowering branches that adorned the shrine of the Buddha.

Honestly, I was drawn in by the Dunhuang-inspired packaging, but the incense ended up being just as beautiful. It was such a lovely surprise.

Frequently asked questions

How long does one coin burn?

About twenty minutes on a heat-safe dish, a little longer in a still room.

Do I have to light it?

No. Tucked into a bag or a drawer, a coin releases its scent slowly on its own.

Is it safe around pets and children?

Burn on a heat-safe dish, never leave it unattended, and keep it away from children and pets.

How should I store them?

In the tin, somewhere cool and dry. The scent keeps for years.
