Oil Burner Wax Melt Burner – Open Hands Tan

• 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
