"Petite Flower" Sculpted Soapstone Incense Burner

Petite Flower

Sculpted Soapstone
Incense Burner

A very elegant little incense burner, this petite flower is finely crafted from a darker gray soapstone. It's many-petals suggests lotus. We find that this piece works best with cone incense or smaller sticks. It's small size makes it great for traveling, and the soapstone is completely fire-proof, absorbing the heat for the burning incense cones, protecting the surface underneath.

Fair-Trade Statement:

Our supplier of this item gathers its wares from a network of manufacturers, each of which based on the Ghandian concept of cottage industry, fair trade, and ethical trade. India is the land of cottage industries, which means that production happens in a small family business at home, where the working conditions are set by the producers themselves.

One such cottage industry was set up when our supplier met a carpenter who did not have any machinery and was lacking work. He bought the machines for this man and started handing him designs for incense holders and other handicrafts. This succesful cottage industry is now in it's second generation, passing from father to son.
