Small Soapstone Oil Burner 8cm - Classic

Product Overview

A small soapstone oil burner in a classic plain design, carved from natural soapstone and measuring approximately 8 cm. Soapstone (a soft metamorphic rock) carves cleanly, holds warmth well, and has a smooth, slightly waxy surface texture that is distinct from ceramic. The upper dish holds water and essential oil; a tea light below releases the scent.

About soapstone

Soapstone (steatite) is a metamorphic rock composed largely of talc. It is quarried and hand-carved in India for use in burners and decorative objects, and has been used for centuries in this way. Each piece is slightly different in tone and texture because it is natural stone.

Why You'll Love It
