What you need with it

What it is

An incense holder keeps burning incense steady and catches its ash. Each one is made for a kind of incense: sticks, cones, backflow cones or resin on charcoal, so the first thing to check is what you burn.

Why people choose it

  • Made for what you burn Stick holders, cone dishes, backflow burners and resin burners each hold one kind of incense well.
  • Ash in one place Long trays and closed boxes keep the ash off the table.
  • A piece for the room Carved wood, brass, soapstone and ceramic that look at home on a shelf.
  • Materials that take the heat Brass, iron, soapstone and ceramic stay sound with daily use.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Check what it holds: sticks, cones, backflow cones or resin

  2. 2

    Set it on a flat, heat-safe surface

  3. 3

    Empty the ash once it has cooled

Care: Let it cool before you empty the ash. Wipe wood with a dry cloth, metal with a soft one. Keep it away from curtains and paper.

    Glad I gave it a chance

    I was worried by some of the negative reviews, but I'm glad I gave this a chance. It is beautiful, arrived safely and in one piece. The cones are large, and the smoke drifts beautifully down the platforms forming a waterfall effect....exactly as I hoped. Even a slight draft will affect this though…

    A great idea.... but...

    I bought the green incense waterfall burner which looks aesthetically pleasing. I bought this as a gift and thought I best try it before giving it, because the reviews were a mixed bag. When I opened the bag of scented cones there wasn't much scent. I chose the lavender coloured cone but it didn't…

    Looks good and works well

    This is a very nice-looking, solid, mountain scene for backflow incense cones. It comes with two brass effect cone holders, which allow the incense to flow down the back or front of the mountain for different looks. It looks really nice in use, but the waterfall effect will be dependant on the…

    Ha ha! Decided to try one out at home before the Christmas market I was doing. Well, me and hubby were watching it and losing faith as nothing happened! Then as the cone burnt down it began flowing. Amazing! If only we'd read the instructions on the tub of cones before lighting it!

    Small but beautiful

    The item itself is lovely, small and delicate. However it is made well and is fairly sturdy. The incense that came with it aren't great but I just bought new ones as I wanted this burner! Overall very happy with my purchase.

    Great item - although I found the cones only last for about 10 minutes - shame as you just begin to enjoy the mystical smoke coming through - but ends very quickly.

    Cool incense burner

    Wanted one of these for a while and it looks fantastic as the smoke flows down. I would like more scent and longer burn time but you get loads of incense to burn.

A few things often kept alongside this piece.

About this product

Smoke over a black lotus pond
  • The deep, reflective glaze catches light along the raised lotus forms, giving the piece a quiet, sculptural presence.
  • With a backflow cone, the smoke is designed to fall rather than rise, moving through the burner like low mist over water.
  • The long tray section gives falling ash a defined place to land when using an incense stick.
  • Its dark ceramic finish suits a meditation corner, console table, reading nook, or evening ritual space.
  • The pond shape keeps the display low and calm, more like a small landscape than a tall ornament.
Backflow cone and stick use

Backflow cones have a hollow channel that lets cooled smoke sink downwards. Place the cone on the raised burner point, light it, then blow out the flame once the tip glows.

The effect works best in still air. Draughts, damp cones, or poor cone placement can interrupt the flow, so give it a quiet spot away from open windows and fans.

Glossy ceramic lotus design

The burner is made from ceramic with a smooth black glaze. The photo shows a low pond-like base, raised lotus detailing, and an integrated stick holder, so you can use it with either a suitable backflow cone or an incense stick.

Placement and care

Place it on a stable, heat-safe surface before lighting incense. Let ash and residue cool fully before cleaning, then wipe the ceramic gently with a soft cloth.

Backflow incense can leave a heavier residue than ordinary incense because the smoke travels down the surface. Regular wiping keeps the glossy finish looking clear.

The lotus in context

The lotus is a long-standing symbol across Buddhist and Hindu traditions, often associated with clarity, renewal and rising cleanly from muddy water. In a home object, that symbolism becomes visual rather than instructional: a dark pond, a still flower form, and smoke moving slowly through the scene. The result feels close to the Chinese appreciation of miniature landscapes, where a small object can suggest water, mist and quiet space without needing to be literal.

Weight and details

Made from ceramic and weighing 306 g. The design includes a backflow incense cone position and an integrated incense stick holder.

A quiet gift for incense lovers

This suits someone who already enjoys incense and wants a more visual way to burn it. The glossy black lotus pond design makes it especially fitting for a calm desk corner, a home altar space, or a thoughtful housewarming gift.

Common questions

Can I use ordinary incense cones with it?
For the falling smoke effect, use backflow incense cones. Ordinary cones may still burn, but they are not designed to send smoke down through the burner.
Does it need a candle or electric heat?
No. An incense burner is an unheated holder. The lit incense provides the smoke, while the ceramic piece supports the cone or stick and catches ash.
Why is the smoke not flowing down properly?
Backflow smoke needs still air, correct cone placement and a fresh, dry backflow cone. Move the burner away from draughts and let the cone establish a steady glow before judging the flow.
