Description
Thin smoke lifts in a slow vertical line, and for a moment the ordinary rhythm of the room slows.
The burning of incense is among the oldest ritual practices documented across human cultures, found in ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and China. In Chinese tradition specifically, incense has been burned in temples and households for more than three thousand years, used in ancestor veneration, Buddhist and Taoist ceremony, and as a daily act of marking time or preparing a space before work or rest. The ceramic vessels shaped to hold it have, across that same span of time, been formed by potters into objects both practical and considered.
This incense holder is handcrafted from ceramic by a master craftsman and formed in the shape of a small traditional Chinese pot. The vintage-style finish draws on classical Chinese ceramic forms, referencing the glazed domestic ware of earlier dynasties. It is compatible with stick incense, cone incense, and coil incense formats.
Dimensions are not listed for this piece. The holder is made from ceramic, crafted in China, and accommodates multiple incense formats including sticks, cones, and coils. It is suited to tabletop or shelf use.
A ceramic holder of this form works in most settings without demanding attention. It requires no accessories beyond the incense itself.
