Stars Sign Mini Bowl & Incense Stick Holder - Sagittarius

• The gold linework reads like a star chart: faint constellation shapes around the rim, with the bow and arrow drawn at the centre.
• A glossy lacquered surface catches the light, so the blue deepens and the gold glints as the room changes through the day.
• The mango wood frame is warm and richly grained, with darker and lighter streaks, so no two bowls look quite the same.
• The bowl is shallow and open, which suits a few small things as easily as a stick of incense.
• It looks as good unused as it does in use: a small piece of artwork on a shelf, desk or bedside table.

The bowl is framed in mango wood, a hardwood prized for its lively grain and honeyed colour. Here it is finished smooth and borders a lacquered, hand-painted-looking centre. The contrast does the work: dark, glossy sky inside, warm natural timber around it.

Slide the plain end of an incense stick into the central hole and stand it upright, so the ash falls into the bowl. Burn in a ventilated space, never leave a lit stick unattended, and tip the ash out once it has cooled. Incense sticks usually burn for roughly thirty to sixty minutes, though this varies from stick to stick.

Between sticks, the bowl is just as happy holding rings, earrings or other small treasures, so it earns its place on the surface every day. Wipe it with a dry or barely damp cloth, and keep it away from standing water.

Sagittarius is the archer of the zodiac, traditionally pictured with a drawn bow, and the sign is associated in astrological tradition with curiosity, travel and an appetite for the horizon. That is why the bow and arrow take the centre of the design, with the constellations circling it. It is a symbolic reference rather than a promise of anything: a pleasing way to mark your sign, or someone else's.

One Sagittarius mini bowl with an incense stick hole. Incense is not included.

Because it works as incense holder, trinket dish and small piece of decoration, it suits anyone born under the archer, whether November or December birthdays, or simply someone who loves the stars. It is personal without being fussy, and useful every single day.
