Description

The smoke curls downward in thin ribbons, slow and deliberate, pooling between ceramic petals the way fog settles over still water at the end of a cold evening.

The lotus has held a central place in Buddhist iconography across Tibet, China, and Southeast Asia for centuries, used to represent the soul’s capacity to rise unsullied from turbulent and difficult origins. The frog appears across East Asian traditions as a guardian of water, associated with lunar cycles and the capacity for transformation. Their pairing is a recurring motif in altar objects and decorative ceramics produced across southern China.

This burner is shaped from fired ceramic and finished with a hand-applied glaze in muted earth tones and pale celadon. A small hollow chamber at the flower’s center holds the incense cone. Backflow cones, which burn from the base upward, release smoke that travels downward through the cone’s hollow core and cascades over the petals into the wide basin below. The basin can hold water and seeds, supporting the growth of moss or small aquatic plants directly at the base.

Exact dimensions are not specified. The piece is compatible with standard backflow incense cones, which are not included and sold separately. Produced in China.

This piece can function as a working incense burner or as a small living planter when water and seeds are added to the basin. Backflow incense cones are required to produce the downward smoke effect.
