Niki-Vintage Hand-carved Lotus Incense Burner

This item is a hand-carved green soapstone incense burner or holder, often featuring a lotus flower design. These items are typically hand-carved from natural stone in India or China and designed to hold either incense sticks or cones, with the ash falling into the bowl-like base. It is likely made of natural soapstone, which can vary in shades of green, gray, and tan, and is known for its heat resistance and soft nature, making it easy to carve. Some higher-end versions may be carved from jade or other green stone. One outside brown spot as soon in picture. 3" tall x 4 1/4" wide.
