Incense Gift Set - Light Stoneware (Circle & Dish)

Product Description

I've put together a small range of exclusive gift sets. This gift set brings together everything you need to engage in the ritual of burning incense. Save while you spoil someone special, or yourself. 

The Circle Incense Holders have been made with a handbuilding process, these ancient technique has been used for many of thousands of years. This approach to making pottery allows it to be created without pottery wheels, using only the makers hands and simple tools. I gravitate towards this way of making as it shows evidence of the human hand – the human being behind the work.

Each incense holder takes time to form by hand, then allowing time to dry for a period of 2-4 weeks before the kiln firing process.

Each piece may differ slightly in size and shape, as they are each hand-built – holding individual uniqueness.

Each set includes:

- x1 Wooden boxed incense sticks (choose between Takeka, Sumi Ink, and Kotoka)

- x1 Circle Incense Holder (Light Stoneware)

- x1 Pinch Dish (Light Stoneware)
