Warm, polished brass catches the light as a fine thread of fragrance rises—steady, quiet, and easy to welcome into a daily ritual. Crafted in India, where brass incense burners have been used in homes and temples for generations, it carries a living craft heritage into a small home altar or calm corner. Across India, incense often accompanies prayer, hospitality, and quiet transitions—an everyday reminder of presence. 🌿
Small in stature and sure in presence, this solid-brass burner stands about 5 cm tall with a 4.5 cm dish base. Its symmetrical, turned silhouette meets a teardrop lid shaped with gentle ridges; a neat band of circular perforations lets the aroma breathe while keeping embers contained. The smooth, shallow dish with a slightly raised rim holds a cone, or a small charcoal disc for resins such as frankincense. The polished, reflective finish feels cool at first touch, then warms softly as the session unfolds. ✨
How to use
Set the burner on a flat, stable, heat-resistant surface in a well-ventilated area; if using charcoal, add a thin layer of sand to the dish.
For cones: place and light the tip, then gently extinguish the flame. For charcoal: light until glowing, place carefully in the dish, and add a small pinch of resin; rest the lid in place.
Let the fragrance drift. Allow the burner to cool completely before moving, and keep away from children and pets.
A thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys simple rituals and enduring craft. 🧘
