Purple Clay Backflow Incense Burner Shaped as a Koi Fish on a Sandalwood Base
Couldn't load pickup availability

The Purple Clay Backflow Incense Burner Shaped as a Koi Fish on a Sandalwood Base is sculpted as a cascade of overlapping lotus leaves in a deep, lustrous clay body. A lotus-bud socket on the upper tier holds a backflow incense cone, and the smoke spills down the carved leaf channels like a small waterfall into the wide lower pool, where two white koi with orange accents rest among the leaves. A second bud-shaped socket on the side holds stick incense. The piece works as a home or tea-table ornament and a working incense holder; incense is not included.
Cultural Symbolism & Artistic Design
Koi: In Chinese folk belief the koi is traditionally associated with perseverance and achievement, drawn from the old story of a carp leaping the Dragon Gate, and because the Chinese word for fish sounds like the word for surplus, paired koi have long stood for abundance. Here two small koi are placed in the leaf pool below the falling smoke, as if circling in water.
Lotus: Rising clean from muddy water to bloom, the lotus is traditionally regarded as a symbol of purity and quiet emergence in Buddhist and Chinese art. The burner's tiers are formed as unfurling lotus leaves, and the fish-among-lotus-leaves scene is a classic composition in Chinese decorative art.
Purple Clay: Purple clay is a fine-grained Chinese ceramic body with a long history in teapots and scholar's objects, valued for its dense, softly lustrous surface when fired.

Why You'll Love This Incense Burner
- The backflow design turns ordinary cone smoke into a visible cascade that pours from tier to tier, making the piece lively when lit and sculptural when unlit.
- Two holders in one piece: the upper lotus bud for backflow cones and the side bud for stick incense.
- At roughly 10.5 × 12 × 7.5 cm and 225 g it sits comfortably on a desk, shelf, or tea tray without taking over the space.
- The koi-and-lotus composition gives it a traditional character that suits housewarming and festival gifting.
Care Instructions
- Use on a stable, level surface away from drafts, curtains, and paper.
- Never leave burning incense unattended; make sure the cone or stick is fully extinguished before setting the piece aside.
- Once cool, rinse out residual resin from the leaf channels with lukewarm water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Handle with care — the carved leaves and koi details are ceramic and can chip if dropped.
- Keep dry when not in use and avoid detergents or abrasive cleaners on the clay surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of incense does this burner use?
The top lotus-bud socket is sized for backflow incense cones, which have a hole in the base that lets smoke flow downward. The side socket holds standard stick incense. Regular solid cones will sit in the holder but will not produce the waterfall effect. Incense is not included with the burner.
Why is my smoke not flowing down the leaves?
The cascade depends on the incense and the air around it. Use fresh backflow cones with an open base hole, keep the piece away from fans, open windows, and air conditioning, and let the cone burn for a minute — cool, dense smoke needs a steady, draft-free spot to follow the carved channels.
How big is it, and where does it fit?
It measures about 10.5 cm × 12 cm × 7.5 cm and weighs about 225 g, so it works on a nightstand, office desk, tea table, or shelf. Compare those dimensions with your available space before ordering.
How do I clean resin buildup after use?
Wait until the burner is completely cool, then rinse the leaf channels with lukewarm water to dissolve the resin, and wipe the piece with a soft dry cloth. Avoid detergents and abrasive pads on the clay surface.
Is each burner identical?
No. The piece is handmade from natural clay, so small differences in glaze depth, color tone, and detail are normal and make each burner unique; slight variation from photos is also possible depending on lighting and screen settings.
