This small lotus flower-shaped incense holder, just 6 cm in diameter, is the younger sibling of the larger (9 cm) version. The 6 cm size is ideal for those with limited space – it fits easily on a small shelf, a window sill, or you can even take it with you in a bag while travelling.
When Is It Worth Choosing the Smaller Size?
If you mainly use incense to set the mood and only light a stick occasionally, the small size is a perfect choice. The small surface takes up less space on the shelf or desk, so it does not clutter the environment. One stick is enough to fill the room with fragrance.
Handcrafted and Lotus Form
The holder is made by hand in Nepal, from varnished wood. The colourful lacquer on the flower petals is vivid and varied – red, yellow, green and blue shades appear on the small lotus. The carving is precise, and the sloping surface of the petals guides the ash into the centre of the holder.
One Stick, Compact Form
In the centre of the holder there is a precise opening that securely holds a standard incense stick of about 2.5 mm thickness. The stick stands vertically, and the small-sized holder remains stably in place. A bedside cabinet, a bookshelf or the corner of a desk all offer a good spot.
Ideal for Travel
The 6 cm size easily fits in a smaller toiletry bag or in a pocket of a backpack. Those who travel a lot or often stay in hotels or guesthouses can take their favourite fragrance with them. It weighs just 22 grams.
What to Consider Before Buying
The holder is intended exclusively for indoor use. Due to hand painting, small colour variations may occur compared to the photo. If you plan to burn larger quantities of incense, it is worth choosing the larger 9 cm version, as the smaller holder has a more limited ash-collecting capacity.
