Sandstone Oil Burner Hand Carved Indonesian

Light a tealight below, add fragrance above, and this hand-carved sandstone oil burner turns a small flame into a quiet scent ritual. It is made for wax melts or essential oils, bringing warmth, shadow and aroma into a room without fuss.

How scent gathers above the flame

• An unscented tealight sits in the base, gently warming the dish above.
• Use a wax melt or aroma granules in the dish, or add a little water with a few drops of essential oil.
• As the surface warms, fragrance lifts slowly into the room rather than arriving all at once.
• The open flame adds its own atmosphere, especially in the evening when the stone catches low light.
• Keep the dish from running dry when using water and essential oil.

Sandstone shaped with a carved finish

The body is sandstone, hand carved in Indonesia, with a simple glass and stone construction made for everyday scent rituals. Sandstone gives the burner a grounded, tactile presence, more earthy than glossy, and well suited to a calm corner, shelf or bedside table.

Using it safely and simply

Place the burner on a stable, heat-resistant surface before lighting the tealight. Add your chosen wax melt, aroma granules, or water and essential oil to the dish, then allow the warmth to release the scent gently.

Use it in a well-ventilated room, away from curtains, draughts, children and pets. Never leave a burning tealight unattended, and allow the burner to cool fully before moving or cleaning it.

Rooted in Javanese stone craft

This piece comes from Indonesia, crafted by artisans in Jogja, Java, a place known for stone carving and devotional sculpture. In a modern home, the same material language becomes quieter and more domestic: stone, flame and fragrance brought together for a small daily pause. Oil burners belong to a long human habit of pairing scent with light, using warmth to mark a change in mood, season or time of day.

Common questions

What type of tealight should I use?
Use an unscented tealight, so the fragrance comes from the wax melt, aroma granules or essential oil in the dish.

Can I change scents between uses?
Yes. Let the burner cool completely, remove any remaining wax or residue, then wipe the dish clean before adding a different scent.
