Seeing Off Zhao Zong at Night · Yang Jiong

Yang Jiong · Tang · Yang Jiong

“趙氏連城璧，由來天下傳。送君還舊府，明月滿前川。” “The Zhao clan’s jade disc, worth whole cities, has been famed throughout the realm since of old. I see you off, returning to your old home; the bright moon fills the river before you.” A celebrated farewell poem by Yang Jiong, one of the Four Paragons of the Early Tang, likening his friend Zhao Zong to the legendary He jade returned intact to Zhao. All 20 characters of the poem are set vertically, each collected from public-domain Tang rubbings, and all 20 are in Yan Zhenqing’s hand, from his Duobao Pagoda, Yan Family Temple, Zang Huaike and Yuan Zi steles (Ming rubbing, National Palace Museum, Taipei). 璧 (jade disc) is written with the loan character 辟, as on Tang steles (form from the Yan Family Temple Stele), and 明 appears in Yan’s variant form 朙. The poem is in the Complete Tang Poems, juan 50. Bright moon in ink wash.

How to swap in 10 seconds

No tools. No fuel spill. Works with the insert you already have.

1

Pull the insert out

3

Will my insert fit?

Choose your lighter model to check compatibility with FLAMUSE standard cases.

Based on publicly available insert compatibility notes from major manufacturers (standard inserts fit classic cases, not slim or 1935-replica cases; torch inserts not for heavy-wall cases; 1941-replica inserts have flat, squared sides and 14 chimney holes). Final fit will be confirmed on production samples.

Stainless Relief · The craft

No colour — just the rise and shine of metal. Ideal for prints, line drawings, sculpture and ancient bronze motifs.

CNC carving

A CNC engraver mills layer by layer from a greyscale height map, for 0.1–0.5 mm deep relief with the richest detail, even on both sides. Long machining time — ideal for limited editions.

Stamping (die-pressing)

A steel die is carved, then a press forms the relief in one stroke. High tooling cost but low unit cost and great consistency — for runs of 1,000+, with shallower relief.

Chemical / laser etching

Etching removes the background so the design stands proud — suits dense line prints. About 0.05–0.15 mm deep, a "low relief" look at the lowest cost.

Options: low / deep / double-sided relief × brushed / mirror. Product images are computer-rendered previews. Process, material (304/316L stainless), minimum order and unit cost will be set after supplier quotes and samples; prices shown are concept pricing.

Laser Engraving · The craft

The lines of calligraphy, engravings and ink outlines — "carved" into metal with light

Fibre-laser engraving

A 1064 nm fibre laser scans the vector artwork line by line, removing or oxidising the surface: dark-grey matte lines on brushed chrome, bright silver lines on black matte, down to about 0.05 mm wide.

No tooling

Works straight from digital line art — no dies, so a new design is just a new file. Fast, low-risk launches.

Small batches

From a single piece, made to order with no dead stock — perfect for testing new designs and artist debuts.

Personalised

Add a name, date or short line on the back (up to 12 characters, +$4) — instant custom gifts.

This series uses one process (laser engraving) and two base finishes (brushed chrome / black matte) to keep the early supply chain simple. Images are rendered previews; actual line width, depth and tone will follow samples.

Our idea: the case, not the insert

Hundreds of millions of reliable windproof inserts are already out there. Making another one means duplicate tooling, fuel tanks, flint mechanisms and packaging — resources we don't need to spend.

So FLAMUSE makes art cases only, sized for standard-size inserts. Keep the insert from the lighter you already own, or buy a replacement insert separately, and slide it into a FLAMUSE case. The insert stays; only the case changes.

FAQ

Will my insert fit?

Compatible with standard-size lighter inserts — regular, vintage, heavy-wall and, we expect, 1941-replica inserts. Slim and 1935-replica inserts do not fit. Use the checker above.

Does the case come with an insert?

No. FLAMUSE sells cases only, by design. Use the insert you already own, or buy a replacement insert from an authorised retailer.

How does the artwork hold up to daily carry?

Printed cases have a UV print under a clear protective coat; like any pocket lighter, edges can show wear over years of carry. For the toughest finish choose stainless relief or laser engraving — there's no ink to rub off.

What about the original manufacturer's warranty?

A manufacturer's warranty applies to that manufacturer's genuine products only. It does not cover FLAMUSE cases, and we can't speak for any other brand. If your insert ever needs service, follow its manufacturer's repair instructions. Warranty terms for FLAMUSE cases (hinge and manufacturing defects) will be published before launch.

Are you affiliated with any lighter brand?

No. FLAMUSE is an independent brand, not affiliated with, authorised or endorsed by any lighter manufacturer.

Is it a good gift?

Yes — every case arrives in a gift box with an art card about the work. Laser-series cases can be personalised on the back (up to 12 characters).

What makes the limited editions collectible?

Stainless relief editions are limited to 199 or 99 pieces, laser-numbered and issued with a certificate. Once sold out, an edition is never reissued.
