Artisan Light Brown Soapstone Oil Burner with Star Motif Tabletop

Star motifs cut by hand into a light brown soapstone oil burner, so the tea light inside pushes small points of light through the body. The pale stone keeps it light and airy on a shelf, and the 12.70 cm height gives it enough presence to work as a standalone decor piece between uses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use this soapstone oil burner?

Pour a little water into the top bowl, add four to six drops of your favourite essential oil, and light a standard tea light in the chamber below. The gentle heat releases the fragrance within a few minutes - just keep topping up the water so the bowl never runs dry.

Does the star pattern show up when lit?

Clearly. The stars are cut right through the stone, so with a tea light inside they appear as small points of light on the piece and cast a soft star pattern on the surrounding surfaces.

Can I use it for sambrani, loban or dhoop instead of essential oil?

Yes, many homes use it exactly that way. For sambrani or loban, use the top bowl dry (no water) with a charcoal tablet or a dhoop cone, and let the burner cool completely before you clear out the ash.

How do I clean the oil residue from the top bowl?

Once it has cooled, wipe the bowl with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap using a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid steel scrubbers, bleach and acidic cleaners - soapstone is a soft stone and can scratch.

Is this a good gifting option?

Yes. It is a popular pick for Diwali gifting, griha pravesh and housewarming, wedding return gifts and corporate hampers because it is handcrafted, useful and suits most Indian interiors. Packing is secure enough to be couriered to another city.

Handcrafted in India from natural soapstone. As every piece is carved and polished by hand, slight variations in shade, veining and carving detail are natural and make your piece one of a kind.
