Mao Mao is a one-of-a-kind handmade ceramic incense burner from Jingdezhen, shaped as a playful, cat-inspired auspicious beast and made to live as both incense object and sculpture.
A Beast with a Cat’s Mischief
Mao Mao is a one-of-a-kind ceramic incense burner with an elongated body, lifted tail, tilted head, and a character entirely its own.
A Face You Will Not Find Twice
Oversized eyes, a tilted gaze, and hand-shaped facial details give this small beast its mischievous, unmistakable expression.
Movement Held in Clay
Its long body, forward stance, and curling tail turn a functional incense object into a small ceramic sculpture in motion.
Made by Hand, Left Alive
Subtle speckles, tonal shifts, carved marks, and small irregularities remain visible—not flaws, but evidence of a piece shaped by hand.
ONE OF ONE
This exact expression, glaze variation, and handmade form exist only once. The exact piece shown is the piece you will receive.
When Incense Gives It Breath
Designed to hold incense within its ceramic form, allowing smoke to emerge through the maker’s intended openings.
Sculpture, Even at Rest
On a shelf, tea table, or sideboard, Mao Mao remains a small ceramic presence—playful, quiet, and impossible to overlook.
Small in Scale. Full of Presence.
Approx. 15 × 7 × 9 cm / 5.9 × 2.8 × 3.5 in. Handmade in Jingdezhen, China, as a contemporary ceramic beast for modern spaces.
Made in the Studio, One Piece at a Time
Each work begins with clay, shaped and finished by hand in Jingdezhen, where no two pieces come out exactly alike.
The Marks of Handwork Are Part of the Piece
Subtle variations in shape, glaze, and surface are not defects, but traces of the making process that give each work its own presence.
