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
Check what it holds: sticks, cones, backflow cones or resin
- 2
Set it on a flat, heat-safe surface
- 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.

★★★★★ L.J.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…

★★★★★ F.G.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…

★★★★★ T.K.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!

★★★★★ L.G.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.

★★★★★ S.R.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
The smoke waterfall in motion
- The curved oval form gives the smoke a gentle path to follow, so it tumbles downward in soft, visible layers.
- As the cone begins to smoulder, the denser backflow smoke falls through the opening and gathers at the base.
- The movement is slow and absorbing, more like mist settling over stone than ordinary incense smoke.
- It works best in still air, away from open windows, fans or busy walkways that can break the flow.
- Use it when you want fragrance with a little theatre, a small focal point for a calmer room.
How the cascade works
Place a lit backflow cone over the burner’s opening, then let the smoke fall through and spill over the form.
Standard incense cones will still burn, but they will not create the waterfall effect. For the cascade, choose backflow incense cones.
Oval ceramic form
The burner is made from ceramic with a shaped oval design that directs the smoke downwards. Ceramic gives it a steady, decorative presence, while still needing the usual gentle handling you would give to a fired piece.
Placement and care
Set it on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting the cone. Keep it away from draughts, curtains and anything flammable, and never leave burning incense unattended.
After use, let the burner cool fully. Empty the ash, then wipe away any residue with a soft cloth so the smoke path stays clear for next time.
A quiet object from Chinese incense culture
Incense has a long place in Chinese domestic, ceremonial and contemplative settings, where scent is often treated as part of atmosphere rather than decoration alone. Backflow burners are a modern expression of that idea, turning the movement of smoke into a small visual landscape. The falling plume has an affinity with Chinese mountain-and-water aesthetics, where mist, flow and stillness are used to suggest space and reflection. Here, that tradition is approached simply: a sculptural holder, a single cone, and a visible stream of smoke marking a slower pause in the day.
Weight and details
Weight: 500 g. Material: ceramic. Origin: China.
Use with backflow incense cones to create the cascading smoke effect.
A thoughtful gift for a quiet corner
This suits someone who enjoys incense, atmospheric home décor, or small evening rituals. It is especially well suited to a desk, shelf or meditation space where the falling smoke can be watched without disturbance.
