A handmade ceramic incense burner inspired by Yazi, a legendary creature from Chinese folklore. Finished in a soft green glaze, its wide eyes and exaggerated grin turn a traditionally fierce beast into a playful sculptural object.
A Mythical Beast with a Mischievous Grin
Yazi is a mythical creature from Chinese folklore, traditionally known for its fierce character. Here, wide eyes, raised brows and an oversized grin give the legendary beast a playful contemporary personality.
Shaped by Hand, Full of Character
The sculpted eyes, brows, horns, nose, mouth and small limbs preserve the subtle marks of the making process. Slight differences in line, expression and surface are part of its handmade character.
Incense Burner and Sculptural Object
Use it as an incense burner, or simply display it on a tea table, bookshelf or sideboard. Its rounded silhouette, expressive face and soft green glaze give it a strong presence even when no incense is being burned.
A Small Sculpture with a Strong Presence
Approx. 13 × 10 × 16 cm. Because every piece is shaped, glazed and kiln-fired by hand, slight variations in expression, form, glaze and surface detail are part of its individual character.
Made by Hand in Jingdezhen
Created by hand in Jingdezhen, China, each piece carries subtle differences in expression, line and glaze. These variations are part of the making process and make every sculpture feel individual.
