Chinese Long Brown Bamboo Incense Tube with Screw Top

Straight honey-colored tube with a dark button on top.

This long brown bamboo incense tube with a screw top is from China. Bamboo is a grass that grows in jointed hollow stalks, and the natural segments make it a ready-made container for sticks of incense. Smooth, slender cylindrical case in warm golden-yellow, with a small dark rounded cap at the top and a matching dark ring at the foot. Faint grain lines run lengthwise. It is 9.5 inches long and 0.7 in diameter.

Not a flourish in sight, and none missed.
