Handmade Gardenia Incense Holder (Tall) - Candle Holder, Incense Dish, Incense Stand

**【About the Product】** | Material | Imported American sculpting clay | Use | Incense holder / Candle holder / Tabletop decoration | Dimensions | Diameter 9.5 × Height 9.5 cm (±2 cm) | Origin | Taiwan ※ About Usage: The deep opening of this incense holder securely accommodates standard 28cm long incense sticks. The angle may vary slightly depending on the incense's thickness, but the wide gardenia petals are designed to catch most of the ash. The base inside the gardenia petals has a diameter of nearly 5cm, offering ample space and suitability for small candles with a diameter of approximately 4cm or less. ※ Cleaning Recommendation: If ash adheres, gently brush it off with a dry cloth or rinse with clean water and allow it to dry completely. As the unglazed surface is porous, avoid contact with colored liquids to prevent staining. ※ Handmade Marks: Each incense holder is individually wheel-thrown and handcrafted, resulting in unique, subtle variations in size, petal fold curvature, and clay color distribution. https://i.postimg.cc/FzMbfym2/Raorao-Studi-pinkoi-tu-(1).png **【About Handmade Ceramic Products】** Each piece is meticulously handcrafted. Due to the natural shrinkage of clay and the flow of glaze during firing, the actual product may not be identical to the photographs. The following are considered normal characteristics of handmade pottery and not defects. Please ensure you are comfortable with these before placing your order: - **Shape Variations**: Due to manual shaping and kiln shrinkage, there may be an approximate **±1-1.5cm** discrepancy in dimensions between the actual product and the photos. The exterior curves may also exhibit slight differences. - **Glaze Appearance**: Glazes naturally flow during firing, which can result in variations in sheen, localized color spots, or pinholes. - **Natural Markings**: Occasional black spots (mineral impurities in the clay), crazing (fine crackle lines), granular texture, or subtle staining may appear on the surface. - **Screen Color Discrepancy**: Photographs are influenced by lighting and individual screen color settings. Please consider the **actual product color and style** as the final reference. 𐃢𐃡 **【Usage and Care Recommendations】** To extend the lifespan and preserve the aesthetic quality of your ceramicware, we recommend the following: - **First Use**: It is advisable to soak the pottery in **rice water** for several hours. This helps to fill the pores and reduce water absorption. - **Microwave Heating**: **Microwave-safe**, but avoid dry heating or prolonged overheating. - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: **Dishwasher-safe**, though handwashing is recommended. If using a dishwasher, ensure items are placed securely to prevent collision. Handwashing with mild detergent and air-drying is preferred for daily care. - **No Direct Flame**: Do not expose to direct flame for heating. - **Temperature Shock**: Avoid sudden, extreme changes in temperature (both hot and cold) to prevent cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. - **Natural Aging**: Over time, white or light-colored pieces may develop **crazing (fine glaze cracks)** and subtle staining. These are considered natural signs of aging and use, and do not affect functionality. 𐃢𐃡 **【Shipping Packaging and Gift Box Service】** In our commitment to environmental responsibility and ensuring safe transit, all items are carefully protected with tissue paper and honeycomb paper. Outer shipping boxes may be reused to minimize waste. If you require a new shipping box, please inform us at the time of ordering.
