Shop a range of antique and modern incense burners on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    A Chinese incense burner, also called a censer, is a bowl made to hold burning incense. Censers were crafted from bronze, copper, porcelain or stone and often filled with dried aromatic plants and essential oils. Find an assortment of censers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    All incense burners work roughly the same, whether antique or contemporary. Usually the incense is placed inside the burner and lit, then a lid may be lowered, if there is one. The smoke will then filter out through holes in the lid. Shop a range of antique and modern incense burners on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Flow incense burners work because of a hole drilled into incense cones. They direct the smoke produced by the cone downward, allowing it to form visually appealing plumes along the burners. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of antique and vintage incense burners.
