Large Orb incense burner

I would not like to have to tell you how much time I spent looking at incense holders yesterday after posting my last lemming, but I did work my way down from $150 to the $60 that In.Sek charges for their Large Orb incense burner. It is a very different aesthetic, but one I find equally lemm-able. There is a smaller burner for $35, but it is sure to leave ash on my desktop, and come to think of it, the large one looks much better as a pair, doesn't it? So let's just forget the whole thing. ("Beautiful solid cast concrete incense burner looks great as a table centerpiece and catches all the ash from your favorite incense. Comes with a 1/8" hole in the center of the piece to hold all sized incense sticks or cones from small to large. Easy to clean with soap and water. Can be used indoor and outdoor.  Collects all the dust from your incense perfectly in the bowl!") At In.Sek.

I do not adore the brass base, but I don't hate it either, and the rest of the Amphora Incense Holder by L'Objet is exactly the incense burner I've been looking for — except that I wasn't really looking for an incense holder until I saw this one, on account of I already have one, and if I was looking for an incense holder, I would hopefully be looking for one that cost way less than $150. ("From the time our earliest ancestors tossed dried leaves and herbs onto their communal fires, the blending of incense became a sacred and healing art. Earthy yet mysterious, incense is still treasured today for its ability to enliven our senses, cleanse impurities, and elevate our mood. The Parfums de Voyage collection features Japanese incense, which delivers the purest fragrance possible. Elevate the experience further by aerating and lifting the fragrance through a timeless porcelain amphora.") Available at Twisted Lily.
