  • 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.
  • 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.
