About this product

Red dragon drama in ceramic
  • The red glaze catches the light across the dragon’s horns, brow and scales, making it a bold focal point even before incense is lit.
  • The black base has a deep, glossy finish with raised swirling detail, so the falling smoke has places to curl and gather.
  • It is made for backflow incense cones, the kind designed to draw smoke downward rather than letting it rise straight up.
  • The ceramic body gives it a steady, substantial feel in the hand, suited to a shelf, altar space or low table.
  • As the cone burns, the burner holds the incense in place and catches the ash at the base.
How the backflow smoke moves

Place a backflow cone on the holder, light the tip, then let the flame go out so the cone smoulders. The smoke travels through the cone and falls down the burner, moving around the dragon and into the lower dish.

Use it on a stable, heat-safe surface with space around it. Like all incense burners, it is not heated from below; the incense itself provides the smoke.

Ceramic finish and care

The burner is ceramic with a high-gloss red and black finish. After use, let the cone and burner cool fully before clearing away ash. Wipe the surface gently with a dry or lightly damp cloth, avoiding abrasive cleaners that could mark the glaze.

The dragon in the room

Dragons appear in many mythic and decorative traditions, often as guardians, threshold figures or symbols of fierce presence. Here, the form is used as visual atmosphere rather than instruction: a sculptural red dragon set low over curling smoke, suited to people who like their incense ritual with a little shadow, shine and ceremony.

Common questions

Can I use ordinary incense cones with it?
It is designed for backflow incense cones. Ordinary cones may produce scent, but they will not create the same downward smoke effect.
Does the burner need a candle or separate heat source?
No. The burner is an unheated holder. The lit backflow cone creates the smoke.
Will the smoke always flow perfectly?
Backflow smoke is sensitive to air movement. For the clearest effect, use it away from draughts and fans.

    Turkish Delight!

    Have been burning these for a year (on and off). They are my favourite and the ones I go back to again and again. Lovely, calming scent that reminds me of Turkish Delight. Only negative is the red sticks - they do leave a mark. My window sill is speckled with tiny red dots where the end pokes through the holder.

    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 cones you use

    Smell divine!

    Absolutely love these! I kept searching for rose scented incense for a while, had some quite awful ones. But these are truly amazing. Even the box wrapped up smelled divine when they arrived! Bet the postie was loving delivering these, his van scented with the roses!
