Set it on a shelf, a desk or a bedside table and it holds an incense stick upright while the ash falls neatly into the bowl, then holds your rings and earrings the rest of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat you'll notice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe glossy lacquered finish catches the light, so the gold line-work seems to glint at the edges of the dish.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA small hole sits at the very centre of the artwork, in the middle of a breaking wave, and that is where the stick stands.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAround the wave runs a ring of twelve zodiac constellations, with crescent and full moons drawn beneath it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mango wood rim is thick and rounded, with the grain showing in honey and deeper brown tones, so each dish carries its own markings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe shallow dish is wide enough to catch falling ash and still gives you room for a few small treasures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWood, lacquer and artwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is mango wood, left visibly natural at the sides and finished with a lacquer that deepens the colour of the grain. Set into it is a dark navy disc with a cream centre, marked in fine gold. The contrast between the soft wood and the celestial print is what gives the piece its character, and because wood is a natural material, the grain and tone will differ slightly from one dish to the next.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to use it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStand an incense stick in the central hole with the unlit end down, light the tip, let it flame for a few seconds, then blow it out so it glows. Always burn in a ventilated room and never leave it unattended. Wipe the ash away with a dry cloth once it has cooled. Keep the dish dry, as water and wood do not suit each other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAquarius in context\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Western astrology, Aquarius is the water-bearer, an air sign associated with curiosity, independence and original thinking. This dish is part of a series, with a version for each sign, and the Aquarius one makes a personal piece for someone born between late January and mid-February. People often keep a small object like this close as a quiet reminder of who they are.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSize and what's included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou receive one Aquarius mini bowl and incense stick holder. Incense sticks are not included. The dish measures 10×10×2.5 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eA considered gift\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits a birthday, a housewarming or a thank-you for anyone who loves astrology, burns incense, or simply likes a pretty place to put their jewellery. It works for both purposes at once, which makes it more likely to stay in daily use than a purely decorative gift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it for something other than incense?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nYes. The shallow bowl holds rings, earrings and other small pieces, and the wooden frame is thick enough to keep them from sliding off.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it come in other star signs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis design is made for Aquarius. Other signs in the series follow the same style with their own artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I care for the finish?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWipe it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid soaking it in water. Let ash cool completely before clearing it away.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SHAMTAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67710309663034,"sku":"SSISH-01","price":6.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/8307\/0266\/files\/stars-sign-mini-bowl-incense-stick-holder-aquarius-cover.png?v=1792130796","url":"https:\/\/shamtam.com\/products\/stars-sign-mini-bowl-incense-stick-holder-aquarius","provider":"SHAMTAM","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
