Craftsmanship: Handmade with traditional techniques

Note: As this product is handmade, variations in size, color, and texture are expected. The actual product received may differ slightly from the images shown.

Is the material durable and aligned with traditional craftsmanship?

Ceramic: High-fired celadon, white porcelain, or Song Dynasty-style burners feature smooth glazes and timeless Chinese aesthetics. Durable but handle with care to avoid hard impacts.

Copper: Hand-carved or Xuande-style lost-wax burners resist corrosion and develop a natural patina over time, enhancing their antique appeal.

Colored Glaze: Blends modern techniques with traditional designs. High transparency showcases fragrant smoke. Avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent cracks; best paired with low-temperature incense (e.g., powder).

Cast Iron: Thick, heat-retaining walls ideal for prolonged use. Surfaces are treated with rust-resistant coatings (e.g., black lacquer or enamel).

Is the size suitable for home or specific uses?

Designed for versatility with clear specifications:

Small (Desktop): 8–12 cm diameter, 5–8 cm height (study/bedroom; single incense stick).

Medium (Living Room): 15–20 cm diameter, 10–15 cm height (holds 3–5 sticks or incense seals; includes fire-resistant tray).

Large (Meditation): 25–30 cm diameter, 18–25 cm height (temples/yoga studios; supports coil or tower incense).

Does it work with stick, coil, powder, etc.?

Multi-functional designs for all incense types:

Stick Incense: Adjustable inserts (1.5mm/2.5mm/3.5mm apertures).

Coil/Tower Incense: Spiral brackets or hollow compartments suspend coils for smoke dispersion.

Powder/Seal Incense: Flat-bottomed burner + fir-charcoal ash set (dust-free molding).

Are there anti-scalding or safety designs?

All burners meet rigorous safety standards:

Heat-Resistant Base: Wood/stone base isolates heat from surfaces.

Anti-Scalding: Double-layered walls (copper/ceramic) or air vents keep exterior ≤60°C (EU EN 60335-2 compliant).

Anti-Tip: Weighted base (cast iron/glazed models) prevents tipping at 30° angles.
