Taurlia Royal Taihu Lake Incense Holder - Old Rock Clay

🌳 Concept: Companion of Heaven and Earth, Dialogue with Landscape Be a companion to heaven and earth, and hold a dialogue with the mountains and waters. Taihu Lake is renowned globally for its picturesque waters, magnificent mountain scenery, and splendid cultural heritage. Taihu Stones, formed by prolonged erosion from the lake water, possess diverse shapes, interconnected cavities, and intricate textures. Since ancient times, they have stood out for their unique beauty characterized by "Wrinkling, Leaking, Lean, and Penetration." The beauty of the stone carried by the Taihu Stone is often exquisite, translucent, and resembles overlapping peaks. Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty wrote in his "Record of the Taihu Stone": "The Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the hundred caves and thousand ravines, finely clustered and condensed, are all contained within it." This has left a mark on China's unique culture of ornamental stones and landscape gardening. ✨ Design: Taihu Scenery Captured in Vessel Inheriting the essence of the "Taihu Journey" Old-Ore Clay Royal Tea Set, this piece interprets the concept of a "Modern Incense Burner" through design, skillfully integrating the Jiangnan landscape of the Taihu Stone into the "Taihu Incense Holder" design. When placed on the tea table, what you see is not just a landscape painting on the desk, but also a sentiment that Taozubo attempts to convey through the vessel—the spirit of "imbuing feelings into objects," and a depth that transcends time and space. 🌿 Incense Function: Purifying and Mellowing the Scent The natural mineral clay possesses a special far-infrared structure and ancestral mineral capillaries. These unique properties allow it to remove unpleasant odors and transform the fragrance into a soft, mellow, and perfectly balanced presentation. Highly Recommended for: Sandalwood Mid-grade Agarwood (Chen Xiang) 🏆 Product Features (Highlights) This is a Royal (Zunjue) piece. In the creation process of the "Taihu Journey," Taozubo continuously challenged ultra-high difficulty craftsmanship. To present the pierced, porous essence of the Taihu Stone, the master artisan used sculptural techniques and applied highly skillful manual trimming during the body creation process, meticulously carving the handheld object. This is far superior to simple surface carving or decal application. It allows the beauty of the Taihu Stone’s "Wrinkling, Leaking, Lean, and Penetration" to be vividly reproduced on the tea table. The conical shape helps centralize the smoke flow. The porous holes allow the light smoke to curl gently, softly carrying a wisp of fragrance. The Taihu Incense Holder is made of Old-Ore Clay, which allows the aroma to become more matured and internalized (introverted). The base features a double-layer insulation structure, allowing for easy repositioning while in use. The Taihu Incense Holder has a wide opening and a cleverly arranged hollowed-out lid, making it particularly suitable for seal incense (Zhuàn Xiāng), which produces a large volume of smoke. When paired with the same series' "Cloud-Pattern Incense Holder" and "Chinese Incense Tool Kit," an elegant incense seal is spontaneously created. The Incense Holder serves as the "dotting of the dragon's eye" for the tea ceremony atmosphere, fully showcasing the landscapes and sentiment of the "Taihu Journey" and the aesthetic of practical tea objects. 🚨 Notes and Specifications ※ The product image is for reference only; please refer to the actual item. ※ If you find a defect in the purchased item, please take photos first and return the complete main product, accessories, inner and outer packaging, random documents, and gifts in the original shipping box/bag.
