In Japan, it is common to light incense sticks by standing them in a small bowl filled with ash or sand. This bowl draws on that everyday gesture and brings it to thin candles: fill it with sand, push in the candles, and one or a few flames are enough to create a quiet moment.
Each piece is handmade in Menorca with Jesmonite® and authentic island sand, the same material as our candle vessels. The mix gives it a natural, one-of-a-kind finish.
In addition to holding thin candles, it also fits a tea light, or can serve as a small dish for incense, jewellery or other special items.
How to use
Fill the bowl with sand almost to the rim and push the thin candles in straight. Put the candles out before the flame reaches the sand.
*The bowl is sold without sand.
Dimensions
Max. outer diameter 7.5 cm × Inner diameter 5.8 cm × H 5 cm approx.
As each piece is handmade, slight variations in colour and tone may occur, making every item truly one of a kind.
Note: The sand in the Jesmonite is from the island, but it is not collected from just anywhere due to regulations; it is purchased from authorised suppliers.
