Large Charcoal Incense Jar - Moon Phases

The full lunar cycle is engraved around this wide charcoal incense jar, handmade in India from polished brass. A mesh top sits over the charcoal for an even burn, and the jar is intended for resins, herbs or powdered incense.

Its low, stable shape is at home on an altar, in a meditation space or on a windowsill where the moon can be seen. The celestial design makes it a good gift for stargazers.

Using it

Light a charcoal tablet with tongs and let it settle into the container until it glows and turns grey at the edges, then sprinkle a little resin or loose incense on top.

Safety

• Charcoal tablets get extremely hot: light them with tongs, never by hand, and only in a heat-resistant container.
• Use in a well-ventilated room, on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Never leave burning charcoal or incense unattended, and keep it away from children, pets and anything flammable.
• Let the container and ash cool completely before touching or emptying it.
