Natural mango wood from India
This incense holder is made from mango wood and comes from India, where wooden incense holders are a familiar part of home fragrance and ritual-goods making. Mango wood is valued for its naturally varied grain, giving each piece a warm, organic character without needing heavy decoration.
Using it with incense
An incense burner is an unheated holder. The incense itself creates the smoke, while the burner supports it and catches the ash as it falls.
Place the holder on a stable, heat-safe surface before lighting your incense. Keep it away from draughts, fabrics and anything that could catch falling ash, and never leave lit incense unattended.
Caring for the wood
Let the burner cool fully before cleaning. Tip away ash, then wipe the wood with a dry or barely damp cloth. Avoid soaking it, as untreated or natural wood does not like prolonged damp.
