Hand-Forged Iron Incense Tray – Wabi-Sabi Design For Rituals of Scent and Stillness
Regular price $89.99

In stillness, form reveals its soul.

Shaped through quiet repetition and timeless intent, this hand-forged iron incense burner is individually hammered by artisans using traditional blacksmithing techniques. The textured surface tells of age, breath, and fire, making each piece truly one of a kind.

In Japanese aesthetics, the raw iron carries the spirit of wabi-sabi—where imperfection is beauty, and change is presence. Its grounding weight and honest simplicity anchor any space, while the passage of time may bring a natural patina or subtle rust, a reminder that even metal returns to earth.

Versatile in form and function, it serves as a zen incense holder for sticks or cones, or as a resting place for jewelry, tea cups, or cherished ritual objects. Its presence adds a quiet, elemental strength to tea ceremonies, meditation altars, or daily stillness spaces.

Ceramic

  • Routine Care: After cooling, gently tap out ash; wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth to remove ash or light oil marks; avoid abrasive pads
  • Deep Cleaning: Soak in warm water + mild dish soap for 15–30 min, clean with a soft brush; for stubborn scorch marks, apply baking soda paste and gently scrub; avoid sudden temperature changes (hot to cold)
  • Usage & Safety: Use a ceramic ash plate or fill with incense ash (keep loose) for stick/coil placement; some are dishwasher-safe (check product info)
  • Avoid: Avoid strong acids/alkalis; no steel wool; no rapid cooling while hot

Wood

  • Routine Care: After cooling, gently tap out ash; wipe with a slightly damp soft cloth to remove ash or light oil marks; avoid abrasive pads
  • Deep Cleaning: For light oil/smoke stains, use mild soap solution sparingly, then dry and air out; never soak
  • Usage & Safety: Avoid direct burning of charcoal/resin; place on a heat-resistant ceramic plate; prevent scratches or charring
  • Avoid: No solvents or harsh chemicals; no prolonged water exposure; avoid direct high heat

Stone

  • Routine Care: After cooling, dust with a soft cloth; clean with mild detergent or neutral soap and warm water, then dry thoroughly
  • Deep Cleaning: Soapstone can be conditioned with a thin layer of mineral oil/wax (will darken color); marble/limestone should avoid acidic cleaners
  • Usage & Safety: Handle with care to avoid chipping; some soapstone burners should not contact essential oils
  • Avoid: Avoid acids (especially for marble types); avoid sharp or hard objects scratching the surface

Metal

  • Routine Care: After cooling, empty ash; wipe with a dry cloth or soft brush; wash with warm water + mild dish soap, then dry completely
  • Deep Cleaning: For stubborn residue, apply baking soda paste and gently scrub; use brass polish for uncoated brass; for charcoal burning, use sand/ash as a heat buffer
  • Usage & Safety: Use tongs for charcoal; for resin, use a metal screen with foil lining, or freeze then tap off residue
  • Avoid: Avoid acidic soaking; avoid abrasive scrubbing pads that can scratch
