Know before you buy
Because of the delicate porcelain glaze, this piece should be hand-washed only. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap to gently wipe away any ash residue, ensuring you do not scrub the surface aggressively.
The white porcelain glaze is durable, but like any light-colored ceramic, it may show ash marks over time. Regular cleaning after each use will help maintain its luminous finish and prevent long-term discoloration.
Yes, the holder is designed with a functional base to catch ash as your incense burns. However, due to its open design, it is best placed on a stable, flat surface to ensure the ash remains contained within the tray.
Each Dauphin Incense Holder is individually handmade in Paris using traditional techniques. These deliberate imperfections and variations in the glaze are intentional characteristics of the artisanal process, making every piece unique.
The holder is designed to fit standard incense sticks. Given the artisanal nature of the piece, the opening is crafted to hold most common stick sizes securely.
