Look and finish
This three-legged dish is finished in deep black enamel with rich gold patterns picked out across the surface. The contrast between black and gold gives the piece a quiet drama: it stands out against lighter tables and wooden shelves, and it looks especially good lit by a single candle or a stick of incense. The slight curve of the rim catches ash and small drips during use.
How it is used
The dish is typically used as a holder for incense sticks, cones and small candles, but it also works as a small offering plate on an altar, a tealight saucer in a quiet corner or a catch-all for keys and coins by the door. The three legs raise it off the surface a few millimetres, which helps protect wooden tabletops from heat.
Material and origin
The dish is made in India from aluminium with a baked enamel finish, which gives it both strength and the rich, glossy colour. The piece weighs around 200 g, so it sits stably on a surface but is easy to pick up and reposition.
Care
Wipe the dish with a soft, dry cloth between uses. For sticky residues, use a slightly damp cloth with a mild detergent and dry the dish fully before storing. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemical cleaners so the enamel keeps its glossy finish over the years.
