A dish set flat on a table puts a lit cone right against the wood, with nothing between the two but a thin layer of ash. The Vintage Brass Lotus Incense Burner solves that with a tripod base that lifts the hollow-out lotus bowl slightly off the surface, cast in a brass and copper alloy that holds its shape through repeated use.
It comes in five sizes and styles, priced from under $9 up to around $15, which is a genuine size range rather than five names for the same object — the smaller options suit a crowded shelf, while the largest works as a standalone table piece.
The carved lotus petals that form the bowl's sides let smoke vent outward as well as up, giving a softer curl than a solid dish would. It holds either a standing cone or an upright stick, and pairs naturally with a bottle from our Fragrance Oil collection running in a separate lamp or diffuser nearby — the censer handles the incense, the oil handles the ambient scent, and neither competes with the other for space or heat.
If you're deciding between sizes, think about where it will actually sit: a smaller variant disappears into an existing shelf arrangement, while the larger option is substantial enough to anchor a coffee table or altar surface on its own.
Cleanup is simple — tip out the ash, wipe the brass with a dry cloth, and let it air out before the next use. There's no reservoir or hinge to clean around, since the whole piece is a single tripod-and-bowl casting.
