About this product

What the verdigris finish brings
  • The greened brass surface has an antique character, softened rather than shiny.
  • The flower-shaped base gives the burner a gentle, centred presence when not in use.
  • The Eight Auspicious Symbols add visual detail without making the piece feel crowded.
  • It suits slow evening incense, a quiet morning pause, or a small altar arrangement.
  • The metal body gives it a grounded feel in the hand and a steady place for ash to fall.
Brass, metal and iron with an aged finish

This piece is made from brass, metal and iron, with a verdigris finish that gives the surface its time-worn green tone. It is handcrafted in India and belongs to the Antique Tibetan Incense Holders range, where ornamental detail is part of the everyday use.

Using it with incense

Use it as an unheated holder for incense sticks or cones. Light the incense separately, place it securely in the holder, and let the burner catch the ash as the smoke rises.

Set it on a stable, heat-safe surface while in use. Allow the incense and holder to cool fully before moving or cleaning.

Care for the aged surface

Empty ash after use and wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking or harsh cleaners, as they can disturb the verdigris finish and the aged character of the metal.

The meaning of the Eight Auspicious Symbols

In Tibetan Buddhist visual culture, the Eight Auspicious Symbols are a traditional group of motifs connected with qualities such as wisdom, compassion, continuity, protection and auspicious conditions. On an incense holder, they bring quiet symbolic depth to a simple daily ritual: lighting scent, watching smoke move, and marking a moment with care. The symbolism is cultural and contemplative, sitting gently alongside the practical purpose of holding incense.

Common questions

Is this a heated incense burner?
No. It is an unheated holder. The incense itself is lit separately and provides the smoke.
Will the verdigris finish change over time?
Metal finishes can soften or develop character with handling and cleaning. Keeping it dry and wiping gently helps preserve the aged look.

    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!
