Musk Stick

Original Encaustic Wax & Resin Vessel
17 × 15 cm

Some colours have a way of bringing back memories.

Musk Stick captures the soft blush pinks and creamy whites of the classic lolly, wrapped in a contemporary sculptural form. Playful without being childish, this one-of-a-kind vessel celebrates simple pleasures while bringing warmth, texture and personality to your home.

Handcrafted using encaustic wax over a sculpted form and finished with a glossy resin interior, every gentle curve and raised blush dot is created by hand. The luminous beeswax surface catches the light beautifully, making the vessel appear to glow from within.

Whether displayed on a coffee table, bookshelf or console, Musk Stick is a conversation piece that adds softness and individuality to contemporary interiors. It can be enjoyed as a sculptural object on its own or used to hold dried botanicals and treasured keepsakes.

For collectors who love artwork that tells a story, this piece is a reminder that beauty often lives in the memories we carry with us.

What is Encaustic Wax Painting?

Encaustic painting is an ancient art form that uses natural beeswax mixed with damar resin (a tree sap) and pigments to create beautifully layered, luminous artworks. Each layer of wax is painted on while warm and then fused with heat, giving the surface a gorgeous depth and a soft, tactile quality you can’t get with other mediums. Every piece is unique, with textures and details that shift and change as the light catches them.

How to Care for Your Encaustic Art

Encaustic wax is surprisingly durable—it’s been around since ancient Egypt, after all! Your piece won’t melt under normal home conditions, but it’s best to keep it away from direct sunlight, heaters or extreme heat. Dust gently with a soft cloth when needed. Over time, the surface may develop a beautiful natural sheen, adding even more character. With just a little care, your artwork will last for generations.
