Incense Holder for Sticks，Ceramic Insence-Stick Holder Ash Catcher，Incense Holder Timkburner for Meditation Yoga Spa Room Decor

The media could not be loaded. i was unsure of the quality when ordering this but honestly once i got it, there is weight to it and it feels made of heavy material. its ceramic/metal i think. i use the satya nag champa incense sticks and it fits perfectly on the metal rack inside. burns great and mine did not burn out or anything. the soot does collect on the lid but thats expected so i did go with the darker color because i knew that would happen. only thing i would love to see in a future model of this is an incense holder drawer. i recommend, its good value for the price. keeps the ashes hidden away in an aesthetic design. havent tried the tools or incense that came with but its a nice bonus!

This Japanese Incense Holder is so beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice! I'm quite happy to have foun it and it is a perfect complement to my new fondness of Japanese high end Incense sticks, including the kyara wood based ones. It holds the sticks in place very well and the box retains all the ashes. It arrived impressively well-packed, after all it is ceramic and it is Japanese made (they are known to never cut corners!). And I'm quite happy with the absolutely lovely incense it came with, and will purchase again from the CEREMONY Store. Did I mention how beautiful this incense holder is!? :o)

Very elegant looking incense burner! Bought as a mother's Day gift and she loved it. It's heavy! Not cheaply made at all. Fantastic gift for incense lovers. Looks exactly like the picture.

Very nice design, made of ceramic. Not as black as picture, more of a dark brown and I have to break off a little peice of my incense sticks because they are longer than the item is which kinda sucks but still overall great purchase.

I really like the look of this incense holder, it's simple and elegant. It's just very short, shorter than the normal length sticks I have. I ended up removing the original holder and gluing in a raised alligator clip that holds the sticks better and allows a little bit more length. I still have to break a good chunk of the end off my sticks but at least I have a solid & sturdy way to hold them now.

Looks great, matches my brown deck furniture. The metal might need adjusted up or down since most incense sticks are never perfectly straight which causes them to touch the bottom and fizzle out.

Update 7.29.2024: After trying the lever style, I decided to also buy the stainless-steel mesh style in the same Amazon listing. The mesh platform style does not have the lever. I found this mesh style allows 100% of Japanese incense to burn, no waste, no left-over pieces. So that is a nice benefit.For those who use Satya brand incense that has a bamboo core, I was able to burn Earth Satya BNG Nag Champa incense sticks on the mesh platform. Full length Satya incense sticks fit fine without any modification.If you run into an issue where the incense sticks want to roll over to the side of the holder, simply bend the stainless-steel platform, using great care to create a very slight valley in the middle lengthwise for the incense stick to lay in. This prevents the incense from accidentally rolling to the side and extinguishing.Original comments Lever style: I really like the lever style holder. It is the best I have found for burning Japanese/Asian incense that does not have a bamboo core. Initially I tried tweaking the position of the metal lever to get the incense properly positioned, but then I noticed a comment in the listing that I had missed...which essentially said to twist or roll the incense stick until it is positioned in the center of the holder. So instead of adjusting the lever, I now take a second to twist or roll the incense stick using 2 fingers until the incense stick is not touching the bottom, sides, or lid. I am able to burn the incense with the lid on and I have never had to relight. No need to tweak the lever.Using the included flame-retardant fabric strip: Lay the strip of fabric (BLACK SIDE UP) inside the ceramic base. So as not to waste any of a short 2.75” Shoyeido incense stick I lit the incense stick, then laid the incense directly on the black side of the fabric strip (inside the ceramic holder). I was bit nervous about placing a burning incense stick directly on the fabric, but it worked perfectly - the entire Japanese incense stick burned, no left-over bits, no strange odor - nor did I notice any singeing of the fabric. I used the included brush to sweep the ash off the flame-retardant fabric strip (black side) and it looks good as new. That was Japanese incense that I used in that experiment burning directly on the flame-retardant fabric strip. Japanese incense does not have a bamboo core.Next, I went through the same exercise, laying an incense stick flat inside the ceramic holder, but without using the fabric strip, and that did not work, the incense did not burn, so the fabric strip must be used if you want to burn the incense lying flat inside (without using the lever).Now that I learned what to do, and the various ways this incense burner/holder can be used I purchased 3 more of these lever style incense holders for use around the house. I think I am also going to buy one that has the stainless-steel mesh to compare. I will reserve the one with the stainless-steel mesh for use with these very short incense sticks.In my opinion these ceramic incense holders/burners are the safest since I can burn the sticks with the lid on. I no longer worry about accidentally knocking burning incense off the holder and causing a fire. I love this incense holder. I purchased both the brown and green colors and would love to see a red color offered.

I previously bought a cheap wooden incense burner from a local retailer, which worked well for awhile, until the glue in the seams started melting due to the heat from burning incense all the time. So I started looking for a replacement on Amazon and found this. First of all, the color of the glaze is rich and beautiful. Then you've got the grate which holds the incense more securely than the crooked hole in the previous burner I was used to poking it into. It's also really easy to clean, I was astonished when I took the brush that came with it and easily brushed it clean of ashes. This incense burner is a bit shorter than the sticks I bought for the other one, but I honestly don't mind because I can easily snap off an inch or two of stem if it means I can burn my incense with a bit more security and peace of mind.
