A moon-phase design traces the lunar cycle, the oldest calendar there is, from new moon to full and back. Purple has been the colour of royalty and the spiritual since Tyrian dye cost more than gold; in candle and chakra tradition it is linked with the crown. Styling: purple sits well against grey, cream and brass, and looks rich in a dim, lamp-lit corner. It is made from glazed ceramic, so wipe it clean rather than scrubbing and handle it with care. From the maker: Add a touch of celestial charm to any space with this Purple Moon Phase Incense Ash Catcher. Measuring 26.5cm in length, this decorative incense holder features a soft purple finish and a white moon phase design. Size: approximately 1.5 x 26.5 x 5.5cm, weighing about 180g. 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. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health 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. UK addresses only. - Returns: You can cancel within 14 days of delivery under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations; email hello@starseeduk.co.uk to arrange a return and we refund within 14 days of receiving it back. - Payment: Payment is by debit or credit card (and the wallets Shopify supports) through secure Shopify checkout. ## Questions and answers (18) ### What is the Purple Moon Phase Incense Ash Catcher used for?
