Gem-shaped incense burner

$365.00 USD

Gem-shaped Incense Burner

This incense burner takes the faceted, rounded form of a polished gem, its smooth curves finished in a lustrous green-gold patina. The refined silhouette makes it equally suited to display as an art object or for everyday incense use.

This piece is a product of Takaoka Metalwork, a traditional craft with over 400 years of history in Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture. The body is cast in copper and finished by hand in a green-gold coloring technique developed by the region's artisans.

How to Use

Fill the bowl with ash, then place a lit incense cone, stick, or piece of charcoal on top of the ash to enjoy the fragrance.
