14. I've seen something like that in stores.
I think they're supposed to make the room smell nice. I'm not too sure, as I've never smelled one.

had at work...the lables were in either Chinese or Japanese...had to go with the picture sometimes to figure out what was in each can.

17. Jade or fake jade carving.
Edited on Wed Feb-09-05 03:36 PM by D__S
Of a Chinese puzzle ball. There's a carving of another ball inside the one in the picture.
It's carved in a manner so that the interior ball is free to move around inside the larger ball.
