About this product

Lotus form with an aged verdigris finish
  • The rounded bowl shape gives the incense a sheltered place to burn, while the pierced top lets smoke drift upward in soft threads.
  • Lotus petals wrap around the body, giving the burner a sculptural presence even when it is not in use.
  • The verdigris finish settles into the raised pattern, highlighting the green and darkened tones across the surface.
  • A small finial sits at the top, adding to the temple-inspired silhouette.
  • Its compact size suits a shelf, meditation corner, bedside table or small home altar.
Brass, metal and iron, handcrafted in India

Made from brass, metal and iron, this burner has the pleasing weight and cool touch of a traditional metal incense vessel. The handcrafted finish gives it an aged character rather than a polished, mirror-bright look.

Using it with incense

An incense burner is an unheated holder for lit incense. The incense itself provides the smoke, while the burner helps contain ash and gives the ritual a steady place to happen.

Place it on a stable, heat-safe surface before use. Add your incense securely inside or with a suitable holder, then let the smoke rise through the openwork top. Allow the metal to cool fully before moving or emptying it.

Care for the verdigris finish

Empty ash after use and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Keep it away from prolonged damp, as metal finishes can change with moisture and handling over time.

The lotus in context

The lotus appears across Buddhist and Hindu visual culture as a symbol of clarity, awakening and the ability to rise cleanly from muddy water. Here, the motif gives the incense burner a quiet ritual language without needing to say too much. It suits the small daily act of lighting incense before meditation, journalling, yoga practice, or simply resetting the atmosphere of a room.

Common questions

Does the burner heat up by itself?
No. It is an unheated incense burner. The lit incense creates the smoke, so the burner should still be placed on a heat-safe surface and left to cool before handling.
Will the finish stay exactly the same?
The verdigris-style finish is part of its aged look. Like many metal objects, its surface may develop subtle changes with touch, ash and time.
