Vintage Handcrafted Brass Tripod Incense Burner with Lid and Etched Geometric Motifs
This vintage handcrafted brass incense burner is a striking example of early to mid-20th century metal artistry. Designed in a tripod cauldron form, it features three tapered legs, a gently rounded body, and twin upright handles with geometric cutouts that lend balance and architectural presence. The domed lid, with its pierced openings and small finial top, was designed to allow aromatic smoke to escape gracefully when incense or resin was burned within.
Crafted entirely from solid brass, the piece displays hand-etched geometric and linear patterns, subtle yet refined, highlighting the maker’s skilled craftsmanship. The surface has developed a rich natural patina, giving the burner a warm golden-brown tone that enhances its antique character. When opened, the interior reveals traces of past use, bearing witness to its history and purpose as a ceremonial or domestic incense vessel.
This incense burner blends practical ritual use with decorative value, making it ideal for collectors of vintage metalwork, Eastern artifacts, or spiritual décor. Whether displayed as a statement accent or used for its intended aromatic purpose, it adds an air of mystery and old-world charm to any setting.
A timeless piece of handcrafted heritage, it evokes the meditative ambiance and artistry of traditional incense rituals from across Asia and the Middle East.
