A small brass cone incense holder, hand-finished in India. It catches the falling ash and gives the cone a stable, predictable place — the simplest, lowest-fuss way to enjoy cone incense at home.
Design and form
The body is shaped from solid brass; a small recess at the centre receives the base of the cone, while the surrounding tray holds the ash. The designs vary in detail — different traditional motifs, edges and surface textures — so each piece is a small individual object. Please note designs are supplied as available.
How to use it safely
Place the holder on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from curtains and easily flammable items. Set the cone in the recess and light its tip; once the flame catches, blow it out so the cone glows and releases its scent. Let the holder cool completely before moving or cleaning. A soft cloth wipes the brass surface clean.
Where it belongs
A bedside table, a desk, the corner of a bookshelf or a meditation nook. The small footprint slips into almost any space without taking it over.

About the brass body
Brass holds heat well and cools slowly, so the small body of the holder becomes a gentle heat reservoir while the cone burns. The interior is left smooth so any ash residue wipes away easily once the holder has cooled. With careful use the brass keeps its warm golden tone for many years.
