Hand-Thrown Faceted Candle or Incense Dish, Salt Glaze

A salt glazed faceted burning dish for solid incense or candles, hand-thrown and carved for Objects of Use in iron-rich stoneware by Symy Ong, a mile or so from our brick and mortar shop. Perfect for holding free-standing pillar candles, tea lights, and incense. Ong, who apprenticed for a year with a Japanese wood-fired pottery, has recently set up studio in Oxford, making stoneware pieces which are fired in a gas kiln. Firing in a salt kiln creates a salt glaze, the result of the combination of the firing environment and the introduction of salt into the kiln during the firing, creating a distinctive glaze style. Measures approximately 11cm in diameter, 2.5cm high — variation is to be expected given the hand-made nature of this product.
