The tradition of Tibetan incense burners reaches back centuries, and pieces with verdigris (copper-green) surfaces particularly represent one of the antique appearances of craftsmanship. This small lotus-shaped burner was born from the meeting of Tibetan tradition and Indian artistic heritage.
The experience it offers
Place the burner on a table, windowsill or in a meditation corner, on a heat-resistant base. In the centre of the lotus you can place a resin-based incense, a small piece of dried resin or sandalwood powder. The warm flame or ember slowly releases the aroma you have added. The 6.5 × 8.5 cm size is small, so it can be placed anywhere without taking up too much space.
Use and care tips
The verdigris surface arises from the natural oxidation of brass — a greenish-blue shade that is a hallmark of timeless craftsmanship. This layer is not a defect but exactly what gives the piece its antique yet cared-for character. When cleaning, do not use strong chemicals, as they can reduce the verdigris layer.
