Oil Burner Wax Melt Burner – Open Hands Tan

Light an unscented tealight beneath the ceramic bowl and the room begins to change quietly. This oil and wax melt burner holds fragrance in a tan dish, warmed by flame and framed by open hands, turning scent into a small evening ritual.

How the fragrance is warmed

• Use the upper bowl with a wax melt, aroma granules, or a little water with a few drops of essential oil.
• An unscented tealight sits below, warming the dish gently so fragrance can lift into the room.
• The open centre lets the candlelight show through, giving the piece a softer presence once lit.
• Replace wax melts when their scent has faded, rather than when the wax itself disappears.
• For oils, keep water in the bowl while the tealight is burning so the dish does not run dry.

Open hands in warm tan ceramic

The form is sculptural and calm: two raised ceramic hands hold a rounded bowl above the tealight space. Its tan finish feels earthy and neutral, easy beside wood, linen, stoneware and other quiet home textures.

When unlit, it reads as a small decorative object. With a candle inside, the hollow centre adds shadow and warmth beneath the bowl.

Using it with care

Place the burner on a heatproof mat before lighting. Add your chosen wax melt, aroma granules, or water and essential oil to the upper bowl, then place a good quality unscented tealight in the base.

Never leave it unattended while lit. Keep it away from curtains, draughts and children. If the flame becomes unsafe, extinguish it with a damp cloth.

A small ritual for the room

Oil and wax burners belong to a long human habit of pairing flame with fragrance. The appeal is simple and enduring: a cold vessel, a small light, and scent slowly moving through the air. Here, the open hands give that everyday act a gently symbolic shape, suggesting offering, welcome and care without making the piece feel formal or ornate.

Size and details

The ceramic burner measures 10 cm high, 12 cm wide and 10 cm long, and weighs 325 g. The bowl measures 9.5 cm across and 2.5 cm high. Made in China.

A thoughtful home gift

Choose it for someone who enjoys wax melts, essential oils, candlelight, or a quieter corner at home. Its neutral tan colour makes it easy to give, even when you are not sure of someone’s exact décor style.

Common questions

Can I use both wax melts and essential oils in this burner?
Yes. Use wax melts or aroma granules directly in the bowl, or add a little water with a few drops of essential oil.

Does the wax melt need a flame touching it?
No. The wax sits in the upper dish and melts from the gentle heat of the tealight below.

What type of tealight should I use?
Use a good quality unscented tealight, placed in the base beneath the bowl.
