Chinese Brass Incense Holder

Meet a dark, round bowl as smooth as a river stone, with a single gold peg in the center.

This incense holder in hardwood and brass is from China, and is contemporary. It is hard wood & brass. Hardwoods are dense and slow growing, which makes them stable and durable, and brass is a heat-tolerant metal commonly used for incense accessories. Shallow, thick-walled round bowl in deep brown-black, with fine wood-like grain visible in the finish. A short, polished gold peg stands upright at the center. The rim is smooth and rounded. It is 1 inches high and 2.5 in diameter.

Plain, polished, and not remotely flustered by its peg.
