Description
This ceramic Buddha wax melt burner takes the form of a praying Buddha bust, eyes closed and hands pressed together at the chest. A shallow dish sits on top of the head to hold wax melts or scented oil, and the curls of the hair are picked out as rows of raised dots that run round to the back. The whole piece wears a glossy cream glaze that settles into a soft brown tone in the recesses, so the face, the folds of the robe and the praying hands stand out in gentle relief. It stands 12cm tall, 8cm wide and 6cm deep, small enough for a narrow shelf.
We think it belongs wherever you like to slow down: a bedside table, a bookshelf in the living room or a quiet corner where you read or unwind. The cream colour is soft enough to sit with most schemes, from warm whites and natural wood to pale greys and muted pinks, and the calm, closed-eye face brings a peaceful note to a room. Once the burner is in use, the small flame glows through the opening at the back while the scent rises from the dish, making a cosy focus for a relaxed evening in.
Made from ceramic, it has an arched opening at the back for a tea light, which sits beneath the dish and gently warms the wax above. Stand it on a flat, stable surface away from anything that could catch, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Let the wax cool and set before you move the burner or empty the dish, then wipe it over with a soft damp cloth once it is completely cold. Because it is a Buddha figure as well as a burner, it still looks lovely on a shelf when unlit, and it makes a thoughtful gift that does more than one job.
