Once you’ve used a handblown glass smoking bottle incense burner, there is simply no going back to the old wooden boat holder method of burning a stick of incense. Or there’s always my old personal favorite, the classic “smoldering stick protruding from anything that will conveniently hold it in place” method. Why use a blown glass color changing incense burner bottle instead? There are so many reasons, but here are my top 5:
#1. Those days of having fine ash scattered everywhere are finally over. Put away the dust rag, because all of the ash from your stick of incense ends up in the bottom of the bottle, eliminating the mess entirely. Just tap the ash out of the bottom hole occasionally, and voila! No messy ash tray to clean up afterwards!
#2. It’s the only kid-friendly – and pet friendly – way to burn incense. If curious hands – or paws – find their way to your glass bottle incense burner while it is in use, not to worry… the glass does not get hot, and the burning ember is held safely within the glass bottle. And all of our incense burners are handblown to have thick walls, using strong, crack resistant glass.
#3. It’s the safest way to burn incense. There is no fire hazard when you use a smoking bottle incense burner. Even if the whole thing is knocked over, the incense will simply go out when the stick touches the inner wall of the bottle. Plus, our glass bottles are handblown using borosilicate (or Pyrex) glass, which is the strongest, most crack-resistant glass available!
#4. You are supporting working artists by buying handmade. People are starting to wake up to the fact that these small decisions we make every time we shop actually have a huge impact on our world. By supporting art and small family business, not only are you getting a superior quality product, but you are helping a family. You are fighting the good fight. You are being the change. The ripple created by this small act carries far and wide
#5. Did we mention these actually change color with use?! The more you use your glass bottle incense burner, the more beautiful it becomes! The patterns and designs on the surface are made by encasing layers of pure gold and silver fume into the glass while it is still molten. Then, as the resin from the incense smoke sticks to the inside of the glass, the colors become more vivid, and the patterns become more vibrant!
