Inspired by mother-of-pearl lacquerware from the Ming Dynasty, a craft that dates back to the Tang Dynasty. Known for its dazzling complexity, this exquisite technique was highly favored by royalty and nobility.
This incense tool vase is crafted from high-fired ceramic, featuring a bold fusion of ceramic and lacquerware artistry. It combines overglaze gold/silver detailing with enamel pigments, fired five times at varying temperature ranges—a technically demanding process. The piece captures both the radiant beauty of mother-of-pearl inlay and the enduring strength of porcelain, making it an essential accent for any incense collection.
Designed to hold incense tools, it can also serve as a petite floral vase.
