Incense Plaques – Following the seasonal principle: ”Harvest wood in spring, gather flowers in summer, collect resins in autumn, preserve fragrances in winter!” Ancient artisans blended multiple aromatic herbs with aged honey, pressed them into tin molds to form plaques, then buried them in rice vats for three months to absorb earthly energies, achieving “living incense.” These plaques were often carved with Pi Xiu patterns to unlock destiny talismans—serving both as portable sachets and spiritual amulets.
Cloisonné
Cloisonné (Jingtailan) is an enamelware crafted by shaping pliable flat copper wires into intricate patterns soldered onto a copper body, filling the designs with vitreous enamel glazes, and firing to completion. Originating in the Yuan Dynasty and flourishing during the Ming Dynasty’s Jingtai era (1450-1456), this art boasts a 600-year history.
The complex manufacturing process comprises four essential stages:
Body forming
Wire pinching/twisting
Enamel filling
Multiple firings
Renowned for its vibrant hues, exquisite filigree, elegant motifs, and enduring hardness that resists fading over time, cloisonné exemplifies timeless artistry.
