Quiet and grounding, our Raw Black Shibui Stoneware Incense Holder invites ritual into the rhythm of daily life. Each piece is wheel-thrown in London, its form guided by the Japanese aesthetic of shibui, an understated elegance that reveals its beauty slowly, through touch and use. Crafted from rich black stoneware with a subtle, naturally glazed sheen, it holds the embered stillness of earth and fire. In its simplicity lies something transcendent: a vessel for scent, smoke and serenity.

Key Features:

• Artisan Craftsmanship: Each incense holder is individually wheel-thrown by skilled potters in Ume’s London studio, embracing the shibui philosophy of quiet refinement and organic imperfection.

• Raw Black Stoneware Clay: Formed from dark, unglazed clay with a soft, natural sheen, each piece carries subtle variations in tone and texture, celebrating the marks of the maker’s hand.

• Brass Dome Holder: Includes a solid brass dome insert with three hole sizes to accommodate various incense sticks, thoughtfully stored in a hemp pouch.

• Gift-Ready Presentation: Beautifully packaged in a matte black gift box, this limited edition holder is both a functional object and a contemplative work of art.

To burn incense is to honor the moment, to draw breath, to pause, to return to presence. Our Raw Black Shibui Stoneware Incense Holder becomes part of that ritual: a quiet altar for fragrance and flame. Whether used in meditation or as a gentle companion to your morning tea, it embodies the union of form and mindfulness, where beauty is not declared but quietly discovered.
