Product Overview
Rich purple enamel with a sun and moon at the centre, the phases of the Moon around them and gold stars scattered between. The bowl is aluminium, so it is light at 130g, and the 20cm curve sits neatly on a side table or shelf while it catches incense ash.
The Story Behind the Design
The phases ringing the centre follow the Moon's synodic month, the 29.5 days from one new moon to the next. Many of the world's calendars, from the Islamic Hijri calendar to the dates of Easter and Chinese New Year, are still set by it.
