Meet Xianchai Li
Xianchai Li is the third piece in our handmade ceramic auspicious beast incense burner series. With its rounded stance, raised little arms, spiral eyes, toothy grin and distinctive hairpin-like ornament, it brings a lively personality to a quiet incense ritual.
Individually shaped and glazed in Jingdezhen, each piece retains subtle variations in contour, surface and soft green tone. These small differences are natural traces of the handmade process.
Used for incense or displayed on its own, Xianchai Li is a playful ceramic companion for a shelf, tea room, desk or side table.

A Lively Auspicious Beast for the Home
Xianchai Li brings together the quiet presence of a handmade ceramic object and the playful character of an imagined auspicious beast. Its soft green glaze feels at home among pale wood, books, linen and other calm, natural materials.
Character in Every Detail
Wide spiral eyes, two dark nose openings, a carefully carved toothy smile and the sculpted hairpin-like detail give Xianchai Li its unmistakable expression. Gentle irregularities in the surface keep the piece grounded in its handmade ceramic character.
A Small Sculpture with a Big Personality
Compact enough for a bookshelf, tea table or sideboard, Xianchai Li adds an unexpected point of view without overwhelming the space. Its expressive form also makes it a thoughtful gift for collectors of pottery, incense objects and imaginative home decor.
Made by Hand, Naturally Individual
Each Xianchai Li is individually shaped and finished. Small differences in line, form, surface and glaze are part of the making process, giving every piece its own subtle character. Approximate dimensions: 13 × 9 × 15 cm.
