Mini Metal Incense Stick Holders

Small lathe-turned metal incense holders, gold in colour. Each one is a solid little post, cone or block with holes drilled into the top - you push the bare end of an incense stick in and it stands upright while it burns.

Six shapes, sold one at a time. Pick yours above.

• Gourd post - 2.5 cm tall, 1.6 cm wide. A 3 mm slot at the neck and a 2 mm hole
• Low cone - 1 cm tall, 1.5 cm wide. One 2 mm hole
• Tall cone - 2.2 cm tall, 1.7 cm wide. One 2.5 mm hole
• Multi-hole disc - 1 cm tall, 2 cm wide. Holes of 1.8, 2 and 3 mm
• Multi-hole barrel - 1.8 cm tall, 2 cm wide. Holes of 1.9, 2.4 and 3.4 mm
• Large multi-hole barrel - 2 cm tall, 3 cm wide. Holes of 3.5, 5 and 6 mm

Every one of those numbers is the maker's own, read off the six measured photographs further down this page.

Different holes take different sticks. The three drilled shapes have sockets in several diameters, so a thin stick and a fat one both fit. The large barrel swallows the thickest, up to 6 mm.

Incense is not included. There is a stick or a coil in nearly every photograph, because otherwise you would be looking at a bare piece of metal. You are buying the holder, one shape per order.

We cannot tell you which metal it is. The maker's title says brass and copper. The maker's own spec sheet says only "Metal". Those are two different claims, so instead of picking the flattering one we are calling it gold-coloured metal and telling you why.

There is no ash tray. These are posts and blocks, not dishes - ash falls wherever the holder is standing. Stand it on a coaster or a plate you do not mind.

Burning incense makes heat and ash, and metal conducts heat. Keep it clear of paper and curtains, and do not leave anything lit unattended.
