This is a vessel that once held sacred smoke. This small, antique Southeast Asian stoneware burner, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century, is a beautiful testament to a ceremonial past. Its unique, marbled glaze in shades of earthy green and black swirls like a thousand breaths, a beautiful map of its original purpose. The tripod form, with its sculpted feet, elevates it from the surface, a detail both practical and symbolic. With its small holes on top designed to allow smoke to escape, this was a cherished incense burner, a centerpiece for rituals and offerings.
In a modern home, it can serve as a striking sculptural accent on a bookshelf or mantel, its form and rich history bringing a powerful sense of purpose and tranquility to your space. It also makes for a very unique potpourri or dried flower holder, or a beautiful vessel for small items.

Shopping at Far East Finds was easy. They have a great collection of Asian home decor products. I am working on decorating my sunroom in the Japandi style. I got some great tips and ideas after reading one of their blog posts on this.

Love the mint-scented Tibetan incense I purchased! I'm using it every day. I will order again.
