Handmade Ceramic Hourglass Incense Holder, Stick Burner, Candle Holder

【About the Product】 ｜Material｜US sculpture clay / Non-toxic, lead-free glaze ｜Purpose｜Incense holder / Tea light candle holder / Tabletop decor ｜Dimensions｜Diameter 8.5 × Height 8 cm (±1.5 cm) ｜Origin｜Handcrafted in Taiwan ※ Usage & Placement The incense insert hole is designed to be about 1–1.5 cm deep, ensuring that even longer incense sticks are securely supported. Depending on the thickness of different incense brands, the tilting angle may vary slightly during burning; however, the wide-bellied design of the hourglass body is crafted to catch the vast majority of falling ash. The opening diameter of the hourglass bowl is approximately 4–5 cm, offering ample interior space. Beyond aromatherapy, it is also perfectly sized to hold a small tealight candle (within 4 cm in diameter) to be used as a cozy, ambient candle holder. ※ Cleaning & Maintenance If the surface collects incense ash, simply wipe it gently with a dry cloth or rinse it with water and let it air dry completely. ※ Handcrafted Marks Each incense holder is individually thrown by hand on the potter's wheel. Therefore, unique and subtle variations in final dimensions, ripple curves, and clay color distribution are natural characteristics—making every single piece one-of-a-kind. https://i.postimg.cc/FzMbfym2/Raorao-Studi-pinkoi-tu-(1).png **【About Handmade Ceramics】** -**Each piece is crafted by hand**. Due to the shrinkage of clay and the natural movement of glaze in the kiln, the actual piece will not be identical to the photos. The following conditions are natural phenomena of handmade ceramics rather than defects. Please make sure you appreciate these traits before placing your order: -**Dimensional Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, the size of the final product may vary by approximately ±1-1.5 cm compared to the descriptions, and the curves of the silhouette may differ slightly. -**Glaze Appearances**: Glaze naturally flows during the firing process, which may result in unique variations in gloss, localized color specks, or tiny pinholes. -**Natural Imprints**: Occasional tiny black spots (clay minerals), crazing (fine ice-like cracks in the glaze), a slightly grainy texture, or faint staining marks may appear on the surface. -**Screen Color Differences**: Photos can be affected by shooting lights and individual monitor settings. Please refer to the actual item received for true colors and styles. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage & Care Suggestions】** To extend the life and maintain the beautiful texture of your ceramics, we recommend the following care methods: -**First Use**: We suggest soaking your pottery in rice water for a few hours prior to its first use. This helps fill the natural pores and reduces water absorption. -**Microwave Safety**: This piece is microwave-safe, but please avoid heating it empty or overheating it for extended periods. -**Cleaning**: Dishwashers are not recommended. We highly recommend handwashing with a mild detergent and letting it air dry naturally, as strong water jets and extreme heat may cause fine lines in the glaze. -**No Direct Flame**: Do not use over an open flame or direct heat source. -**Temperature Notice**: Avoid sudden, drastic temperature changes (thermal shock) to prevent the pottery from cracking due to rapid expansion or contraction. -**Natural Agemarkings**: Over time, white or light-colored vessels may develop crazing (glaze cracks) and slight tea stains. These are beautiful signs of time from natural use and will not affect the function of the bowl. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging & Gift Box Service】** To stay eco-friendly and ensure safe delivery, our daily shipments are carefully protected using tissue paper and honeycomb paper.
