The quiet curl of incense sets a gentle rhythm to the room, turning breath and space into a small ritual. In India, brass vessels and incense accompany daily moments of devotion and hospitality—a simple heritage of care carried into the home. 🪷
This small, lidded burner rests on a flared pedestal, its rounded bowl edged with a soft, scalloped rim. The domed lid, topped with a pointed finial, is pierced with circular and curved cutouts that let the smoke weave out slowly. A verdigris patina in deep green tones settles into raised lotus-petal motifs and flowing linework, with darker recesses giving the relief real depth and an antiqued, tactile feel. In many Asian traditions, the lotus symbolizes purity and renewal—a quiet reminder of clarity in daily life. 🌿
How to use
Place the burner on a heat-safe, stable surface. Lift the lid and set a cone or coil inside the bowl; for sticks, anchor securely so ash falls within.
Light the incense, let the tip glow, then replace the lid so the smoke threads through the openwork.
After use, allow the piece to cool fully before handling and empty ash gently.
A thoughtful gift for a meditation nook, yoga space, or anyone who appreciates mindful design. 🧘
