Description
Thin threads of smoke drift downward through still air, tracing the curves of open lotus petals before settling into the shallow basin below.
In Tibetan Buddhist tradition, the lotus is among the eight auspicious symbols, representing purity and the possibility of awakening within ordinary life. It is frequently depicted rising from water, clean and unmarked, an image that has appeared in sculpture, painting, and ritual objects across the Himalayan region for over a thousand years. The frog, present in many East Asian decorative traditions, is associated with water, seasonal change, and the turning of time. Small ceramic burners drawing on these symbols have been produced in workshops across China for generations.
This burner is formed from ceramic in a vintage-inspired style, depicting a lotus pond with open blooms and a small frog resting at the water’s edge. The glaze uses muted earth tones with pale green and celadon accents. The incense cone seats in a hollow at the center of the main flower. When a backflow cone is lit, smoke travels down through the cone’s hollow channel and cascades over the petals into the basin, forming a slow, continuous downward flow. The basin is shallow and can hold water.
Exact dimensions are not specified. The piece works with standard backflow incense cones, sold separately. Country of origin: China.
This piece can also function as a small water vessel when not in use as a burner. Backflow incense cones are required to produce the downward smoke effect.
