Flowing Incense is a ring that also works as an incense burner. Worn as jewellery, the ring shows an elegant organic form. When the wearer feels tired, the ring is removed and used as a burner. Incense is inserted into the ring in the shape of a mountain, and smoke rises from the top, creating a scene for mountain watching and meditation. The design is based on the Chinese ritual of incense burning and joins prehistoric and contemporary references. The pieces are made with Flowing Lithography Ceramic and handcrafted techniques.
