Incense & oil burner with Flower-Of-Life

The glass dome is hand-blown (made from 60% silica sand and 40 % recycled white glass), the inner glass carrier for smoke aroma or liquid scent is also handmade from heat-resistant borosilicate glass and has a white flower of life decal on the bottom. The wooden base is made from FSC ash wood. 
Incense included, tea light not included.
Handmade in Europe.

How to use
Place a tea light into the opening in the wooden base and light it. Then put the heat-resistant, translucent glass chimney on top of the wooden base, and fill the glass incense bowl with incense or fragrant oil before placing it on top of the glass chimney.

Warning
Use only good quality tea lights, and observe the following safety guidelines:
- the burner (glass chimney) and the heat-resistant glass bowl get very hot!

- after use, do not touch it until it has cooled down!
- never leave a burning candle unattended
- keep incense and fragrance oils away from children
- incense mixtures and fragrant oils are not for consumption
- keep out of the reach of children and animals

Cleaning
Some incense mixtures contain resins which can stick to the heat-resistant incense bowl. The incense bowl and the glass can be cleaned with water and mild detergent or they can be put into the dishwasher. Persistent residues in the incense bowl can be cleaned with oven cleaner or an abrasive pad.

Flower of Life symbol
The Flower of Life is one of the standard and most powerful symbols in nature, in holy geometry. It is an ancient metaphor for the connection of all life in the Universe. In many cultures this symbol is well known.

Golden Ratio
Since antiquity, the underlying proportions of the Golden Ratio have served as the epitome of beauty and aesthetics. Even today, this perfect proportion can be found in art, in architecture, in design – and elsewhere. The Golden Ratio is evident everywhere in nature, which is why we use it as the guiding principle in the design of our products. It arises from the equality of proportions, when the relationship between the larger and the smaller part is the same as that between the whole and the larger part. This ratio, this formula – the Phi number from mathematics – is 1.618. The Fibonacci sequence of numbers is based on this same principle, and describes the characteristics of growth processes which can be found in nature, for instance in the leaf and flower position of plants. This arises, for example, in left and right handed spirals with a ratio of 8 to 13, or 21 to 34 (all numbers in the Fibonacci sequence.) When dividing these numbers the result is always 1.618, which is known as "Phi", or the Golden Ratio. All our glass and porcelain products are carefully conceived in accordance with the Golden Ratio, making every piece genuinely pleasing to the eye and energetically in alignment with the flow of life force energy. 

Symbols and affirmations
As long as humanity has existed, all cultures on Earth have used symbols. In order to understand the effectiveness of symbols, it is necessary to understand the inherent resonance or vibration which they contain. Sometimes this is conveyed using words (as in «affirmation»), and sometimes using graphic symbols, mathematics or sounds. The Flower-of-Life symbol is believed to contain all the geometry of life as we know it on planet Earth. It is a universal symbol of energy, life and the connection among all things. Water as a medium seems to be able to recognise and retain various kinds of information, vibration, resonance, and to carry this «informational content» with it.
 

Production
Traditional craftsmanship is necessary for the production of Nature design products. 
The Flower-Of-Life symbols on the bottom are emblazoned into the glass base at 600°c. (approx. 1100° F). The glass used to make Nature design glassware is approximately 40% silica sand, which is known to be a highly energetic medium. The glass for Nature design glassware is completely free of lead or any other heavy metals.
