Product Description
RING traces the movement of smoke through its circular form, turning incense from a scent into a quiet visual experience.
With a backflow incense cone, smoke slowly cascades down along the circular structure. A side opening also accommodates regular incense sticks, allowing the smoke to rise naturally. One incense holder offers two distinct ways to enjoy incense.
Made from two cast zinc alloy pieces, its simple geometric form also works naturally as a sculptural object when not in use.
Available in Raw Zinc and Matte Black. Raw Zinc preserves the natural texture and subtle traces of the manufacturing process, while Matte Black offers a calm, refined matte finish.

Product Notes
● Dual-purpose design for both backflow incense cones and regular incense sticks.
● When used with a backflow incense cone, smoke flows downward along the circular structure. Regular incense cones will not create the backflow effect.
● Suitable for incense sticks up to 3 mm in diameter.
● The backflow effect is sensitive to air movement. For the best result, use in a still environment without drafts.
● Each backflow incense cone burns for approximately 10–15 minutes. Actual burning time may vary depending on the material and size of the incense.
● We recommend removing the backflow incense cone when approximately 90% has burned, rather than allowing it to burn completely. This helps reduce tar buildup and prolonged heat exposure around the incense opening.
● 10 heat-resistant pads are included. They help reduce direct tar buildup on the holder and make everyday cleaning and maintenance easier.
● The heat-resistant pads are optional. The holder can be used without them; however, on the Matte Black finish, heat-related wear around the incense opening may occur sooner.
● Minor pores and polishing marks may occur naturally as part of the casting and hand-finishing process.
● Raw Zinc preserves the natural texture and characteristics of the manufacturing process, so each piece may vary slightly.
● Matte Black has a painted surface finish. With prolonged use, repeated exposure to heat around the incense opening may gradually cause slight colour changes or wear to the finish. These are normal signs of use and do not affect the function of the holder.
● Slight colour variations may occur between production batches or due to screen settings. Please refer to the actual product for colour.
● Handle and place with care, as the product has a substantial metal weight.
● Backflow incense cones and incense sticks are not included.
How to Use the Heat-Resistant Pad
● When burning a backflow incense cone, place the heat-resistant pad between the cone and the incense holder.
● Place the pad with the black side facing up and the silver aluminium foil side facing down, then place the backflow incense cone on the black surface.
● The pad helps collect tar produced during burning, reducing direct buildup on the holder and the time required for cleaning and maintenance.
● Replace the pad when a noticeable amount of tar or residue has accumulated.
● The pad is not required for normal use. The holder can be used without it; however, on the Matte Black finish, heat-related wear around the incense opening may occur sooner.
Care Instructions
● For everyday care, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
● Allow the holder to cool completely before removing ash or tar residue, or before cleaning.
● Tar residue may naturally occur when burning backflow incense and is a normal result of burning natural incense materials.
● For Raw Zinc, after the holder has completely cooled, tar residue may be gently removed with a cotton swab lightly moistened with alcohol.
● For Matte Black, allow the holder to cool completely before gently cleaning with a cotton swab lightly moistened with alcohol. Avoid repeated or vigorous rubbing.
● Do not clean the holder while it is still hot.
● Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring pads.
● Avoid impact or contact with sharp or hard objects to prevent permanent scratches.
Safety & Usage Notes
● Place the incense holder on a stable, heat-resistant, non-flammable surface.
● Backflow smoke is easily affected by air conditioning, fans, and natural drafts. Use in a still environment for the best cascading smoke effect.
● Do not move the holder while incense is burning.
● Never leave burning incense unattended. Keep away from children and pets.
● Parts of the holder may remain hot after use. Allow it to cool completely before moving or cleaning.
