- Its seven-piece catalogue includes maker-mark guidance and care instructions for lighting smokers and setting candle-driven pyramids.
Field notes
The material is arranged as seven chapters, with a separate catalogue of seven traditional forms. The explanations connect each object to a mechanism or use: candle warmth turns a pyramid, and an incense cone sits inside a smoker. A care section directs owners to maker-mark information and instructions for using their pieces. The site says dates are sourced at the foot of each page.
