The Celestial Ceramic incense holder was handmade by me using a slab technique which gives it a unique and rustic look. Use it to hold your incense and palo santo. The gold illustrations have been made by using a pottery transfer. The incense holder is glazed in a white glossy finish on a white clay. The bottom is left raw. Due to the fact that this piece is handmade you may find slight variations in the shape, size, glaze and pattern left by the process. Because of this uniqueness it is the only one in the world! Ceramics is a slow process, it takes around 4 -6 weeks to create from start to finish. All my creations are made from high quality Australian clay and are individually shaped, glazed with a brush and fired twice. Every item with gold paint or gold illustration required a third firing. Instead of using a wheel, I create all my items with my hands and my imagination :-). The glazes are lead-free and foodsafe. I recommend gentle handwashing. This listing is for 1 incense holder. The incense sticks and palo santo are not included. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I speak english and french.
