Quiet questions
Does the vessel need electricity or water?
No. Each vessel is passive — the essence rises through cedar reeds, silently, into the air of the room.
How long does one filling last?
A 50 ml essence lasts approximately six to eight weeks; a 100 ml essence, twelve to sixteen weeks — depending on the room and the season.
Can I move between essences?
Yes. Rinse the reservoir with warm water, dry with linen, and replace the reeds when introducing a new atmosphere.
Is the ceramic unique?
Every vessel is hand-thrown and hand-finished — subtle variations in tone and glaze are the mark of the maker.
