Kawakou Studio Japanese Incense Holder Pine ②

I couldn't find an incense holder I liked, so I made a Japanese-style pine incense holder out of oven-bake clay.
Since each piece is hand-painted, no two are exactly alike. Please only purchase if you understand and appreciate handmade items with slight color variations.
The incense holder is a convenient size and can hold stick incense, cone incense, and long stick incense without tipping over.

Size: Approx. 5cm (H) x 8cm (W) x 1cm (D) x 77g
Materials: Oven-bake clay, acrylic paints, etc.

Please note that some thicker incense sticks may not fit.
You can adjust the hole size with a toothpick or a thin awl.
Be careful not to widen the hole too much, as it may crack.

Also, while cone incense can be used, the area where it's placed may become scorched and leave burn marks.
As shown in the photos, using different spots for the cones will create a nice patina over time.
Please use your own discretion.
The more you use it, the better the texture will become.
I make these as a hobby and plan to list various items as inspiration strikes, so I appreciate your support.
Please note that the actual product may differ slightly from the photos.
As the material is similar to pottery, it may break if dropped.
A coating has been applied, but please wipe off dirt with a cloth instead of using a dishwasher.
This is not a perfect, commercially produced item by a professional artist.
A few incense sticks (several pieces) will be included as a free bonus for you to try.
