This ceramic incense burner and smudge bowl is made to hold heat and ash without complaint, so the part of the practice you actually came for — the smoke, the pause, the intention — is the part you get to pay attention to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with care, it adds beauty and intention to any cleansing or meditation practice. Set it down once and it tends to stay: on the altar, on the windowsill, on the corner of the desk where the day gets reset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCeramic construction, made to hold burning material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTakes smudge bombs, pyramids, triangles and charcoal discs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoubles as an incense burner and a smudge bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade with attention to sustainability and fair work practices\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMay arrive in recycled envelopes or boxes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color:#2c3a37;\"\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSet the bowl on a stable, heat-tolerant surface with clear space above it.
