This was really much nicer than I expected for the price. It is nice and heavy and larger than it appears in the photos. The brass is a good weight, not that cheap, flimsy gold-tone metal, but actual brass. The wood handle is large enough to carry it with ease. I intended to throw it in a drawer, but it's so pretty, I'm leaving it out on display! The only thing I thought was odd is that it looks like it's missing a finial that should be on the cap, but it is exactly as it appears in the photo. I will probably end up gluing a little bead or charm onto it as a 'grabber' for when it's hot. Read more
This is a beautiful incense holder with an outstanding price. It looks even more expensive in person! Many have commented on how they removed the handle, which I have no idea why anyone would want to do this, the handle is the perfect touch and helps avoid burns. Excellent product! Read more
This is a great little resin holder. I simply put in the charcoal and then the resin on top. I’ve also tried it with both sand and rocks in the bottom and get the same results. I don’t usually use the top because I use it for smudging and energetic cleansing do am walking around and raising and lowering it, and the top is loose not tightly secure. The first one I got had a loose handle which ended up being its demise. I purchased again because I really like it and the handle is secure on the new one. I’ve gotten it as presents for friends and they love it. It will get hot because it’s brass and, well, there’s fire in it, so the handle is especially important. Read more
Very pleased with this purchase. GREAT VALUE. It has good weight for its size. Very safe and stable. The wooden handle is perfect, Used with small amount (1/4 tsp) Pontifical resin incense for the Catholic church scent during rosary meditation. So beautiful! This incense burner is PERFECT for apartment use. Remember – put a little sand and a few small pebbles in the bottom of this burner to rest the charcoal on. The sand will also help you extinguish the charcoal ( use tongs) if need be. The lid does get hot so be careful. Putting the lid on will control the amount of smoke. Read more
Double check dimensions in the product description. The bowl at it's widest is 2.5 inches, the opening is 2.25 inches. 3.5 inches tall from bottom of stand to lip of bowl, lid is 1.5 inches. From front edge of bowl to tip of handle is 8.5 inches. Mine seems pretty sturdy. Read more
This is a very well constructed incense burner. For the low price, I was not expecting it to be as nice as it is. It has just the right amount of weight for stability. I placed a small amount of rock salt in the bottom to keep the burner in good condition. If you are looking for an attractive burner at an inexpensive price, then this is the burner you are looking for. I highly recommend the product and the seller as well. Read more
I’ve been looking for a long time for something to specifically burn ESFAND/ESPAND/RUE SEEDS and this is perfect! The seeds pop as it burns so the lid keeps the seeds contained inside. The vents perfectly releases the smoke of the seeds evenly and consistently. The handle is perfect so you can take it around your home from room to room. Only down side is the lid does get hot so be careful removing and the bottom gets hot too so be careful where you place it. I use a wooden tray (similar to a small cup placer) to safeguard my table from burn marks. I would highly recommend this and in fact getting 2 more for others. Read more
Picking up an incense burner and swinging it about like a Catholic Priest looks awesome. But a) those censers are crazy expensive and b) if you aren't careful you will send burning hot coals flying at folks.I got a censer like this one and another larger one some 25 years ago, and have never looked back. I moved recently and have yet to discover my secretly packed area for those censers, so I picked this one up quickly to use after a couple months of using one I had gifted to me that is on a chain. This is much better. Be careful to only touch the wood handle the brass gets quite warm. Read more
