Creative Vase Series Backflow Incense Burner Ceramic (B-Blue)
This is a glazed blue ceramic vase-style backflow incense burner from the Creative Vase Series, designed to hold a single backflow incense cone. When lit, the smoke flows down and pools around the base rather than rising, creating a slow, waterfall-like drift of smoke. The vase has an open interior column and a small platform near the top for the cone; the exact glaze pattern can vary slightly piece to piece, as with any hand-finished ceramic.

How It Works
Backflow incense cones are hollow and formulated to be denser than air once lit, so the smoke sinks instead of rising. Placed on the burner's small platform, the lit cone's smoke travels down through the vase's interior channel and spills over the base, producing the "waterfall" effect this style of burner is known for. This only works with cones labeled backflow (also sold as "smoke waterfall" cones) — regular incense sticks or standard cones will not flow downward.
How to Use
Set the burner on a flat, heatproof, stable surface away from anything flammable. Place a backflow cone tip-down on the platform, light the tip, let the flame die to an ember, then blow it out — the smoke should sink and flow down the vase. Use in a well-ventilated room.
Care
Never leave a lit cone unattended, and keep the burner out of reach of children and pets while in use. Let it cool completely before moving or cleaning. Wipe the ceramic exterior with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth; avoid submerging it in water. Ash residue can be brushed out of the interior channel once fully cooled. Keep away from flammable materials at all times, and always use on a stable, heat-safe surface.
Frequently Asked Questions

A: Backflow incense cones specifically (sometimes sold as "smoke waterfall" cones). Regular sticks or standard cones will not produce the downward effect.
Q: Are backflow cones included?
A: No, the burner is sold on its own. Backflow cones are sold separately.
Q: Is it safe to leave burning while I'm out of the room?
A: No. Never leave any lit incense unattended, and keep it away from children, pets, and flammable materials at all times.
Q: What is it made of?
A: Glazed ceramic. Since each piece is hand-finished, slight variations in glaze color and texture are normal.
