avena Incense Burner Ceramic Cone/Coil Incense Holder Ash Catcher Tray Bowl with Brass Calabash Incense Holder Cracked Glaze(Yellow)

Very cool design and sweet looking product.I got the yellow one and the color is definitely different than the picture (which is believe is stated in the product description). It is more of a light/pale yellow than a warm mustard yellow (which is a little of a bummer but it’s still really cool and works with my decor).The good incense stick holder is too lightweight to hold up a stick of incense, which is ridiculous, but it’s a cheap product so who’s surprised. The hole is also so wide that the stick doesn’t stand straight up. It tilts to the side so much that even if it’s placed toward the edge of the interior of the bowl, the ashes will still fall outside of the bowl.I plan to find a heavier, more functional small incense holder to use in conjunction with the burner.I have not tried cone incense in this one yet.I really love the look and design! Just needs to be modified to be more functional.

It came is a small sturdy box, I cleaned it once and the incense i burned with it left no marks. Good buy!

It's an incense burner. The increase burns, just as I expected.Kidding aside -- it's an attractive burner. I like the filagree metal lid, although I am not sure how durable it will be.I use cone incense, setting the cone on the little disk that is packaged with the incense, after I set the little disk in the center of the bowl. I put the lid on, since there is no shortage of ventilated openings.Here is where a more detailed information/guidelines/directions sheet would have been helpful: I am not sure what the heat and flame will do to the inner surface of the lid over time, but if it's damaged, so be it -- I couldn't see using the bowl without the lid, since that's why I bought it in the first place. One time I noticed some brown liquid on the edge of the ceramic bowl. I presume that dripped from the finish on the inner surface of the lid.Very happy with this burner so far. If the inner surface of the lid starts showing heat or flame damage, I'll throw it out and plan to invest in something more durable.

Style is pretty however it is too hot for you to handle if you need to pick it up when something is burning or afterwards. The little gold hook that they give you to remove the grate is not very user-friendly.

This does NOT hold an incense stick....it falls right over
