A lemming courtesy of Kevin: a Smoking Tiger and Magpie Incense Burner from Pinch of Clay. "This incense burner includes a tiger + matching dish + and a small box of Nag Champa cone incense. The inspiration came from Korean Minhwa (folk art painting), where a tiger hangs out with a magpie in front of a pine tree. In Korea, almost every tale starts with "Back when tigers used to smoke," instead of "Once upon a time"; $120. For alternatives, see the smaller smoking kitties here and here.

At right, the Cameo incense burner La Gazelle d'Or ("sauntering in the shady gardens of La Gazelle d’Or, one chances upon an incense holder: an oval cameo with the serene gaze of a classical face outlined in relief"), incense sold separately, $340.
Spent charge, also known as sandalwood residue, is the exhausted biomass created during the oil distillation process when obtaining sandalwood oil. This residue has traditionally been known as an industrial by-product that was simply discarded as green waste or boiler feed after the steam distillation process.
Instead of disposing of the exhausted biomass, ongoing research and innovation by Quintis has unlocked the potential for grouping this as spent charge. By re-purposing it to create incense products, Quintis has been able to reduce waste and, more than that, continued to add value to sandalwood operations.
