A moon-phase design traces the lunar cycle, the oldest calendar there is, from new moon to full and back. It is made from glazed ceramic, so wipe it clean rather than scrubbing and handle it with care. From the maker: A beautiful stoneware incense ash catcher with moon phase design. A wax resist finish gives this piece a stunning, handmade feel that fits a wide range of home decor styles. Size: approximately 1.5 x 26 x 5.5cm, weighing about 215g. Allow for small variations between batches. ## Traditions (belief, not health claims) Backflow cones have a hollow core: the cooling smoke is heavier than air, so it sinks and pours over the burner's channels. Incense holders have taken many forms, from Chinese bronze censers to the boat-shaped ash catchers of Indian homes. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims. ## How to use - Never leave a lit flame unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets. - Use backflow cones for the waterfall effect; ordinary cones and sticks smoke upward. - Stand on a heat-proof base away from draughts, which break up the flow of smoke. - Empty ash once cool. - Moon idea: the new moon is the traditional time for beginnings and the full moon for gratitude and release. - Evening idea: light it as you switch off screens for the night, a simple cue to wind down. - Safety: always use a heat-proof holder on a stable surface, away from curtains, children and pets. ## Care - Wipe resin build-up with a damp cloth once cool; a cotton bud reaches small channels. ## Policies - Delivery: UK delivery £3.95, free over £40, 2–5 working days.
