What it is

Black Skull Oil Burner is a tealight oil burner: a small dish of water and oil sits above a tealight and lightly warms to scent a room.

The skull is the memento mori of Victorian and medieval art, a reminder to live fully, and a symbol of the ancestors at Samhain and the Day of the Dead.

Black is the traditional colour of protection and of banishing what is unwanted. Styling: black looks dramatic on a gothic altar and crisp against white walls.

It is made from glazed ceramic, so wipe it clean rather than scrubbing and handle it with care.

From the maker: This matt black ceramic oil burner in the shape of a skull is sure to be a talking point in any home. Perfect for Halloween or for those who are looking for something different and unusual the burner features a deep bowl and can be used with both fragrance oils and wax melts.

Materials and size

Size: approximately 10 x 10 x 13.5cm, weighing about 500g. Allow for small variations between batches.

Traditional uses

Scenting a room with warmed oils has ancient roots: Egyptian, Greek and Roman homes burned perfumed oils in clay lamps. In modern home ritual, a favourite scent marks a change of mood, such as lighting the burner when work ends for the day. Traditional meanings are offered for interest and reflection, not as a health claim.

How to use it

  • Stand it on a heat-proof base; the dish gets hot.
  • Never leave a lit flame unattended, and keep it away from curtains, children and pets.
  • Fill the dish with water, then add a few drops of oil, or drop one wax melt in the dish without water.
  • Light a tealight underneath and never let the dish run dry.
  • Journalling idea: note the date, the moon phase and what you wished for, and look back a month later.
  • Storage: keep spares somewhere cool and dark so colours and scents stay fresh.
  • Ritual idea: write your intention on a slip of paper, read it aloud, then light the candle or incense.

Care

  • Let it cool fully before cleaning. For wax, freeze the dish for ten minutes and the wax pops out.

Who it suits

Best for anyone who loves a scented home.
