THIS INCENSE HOLDER SYMBOLISM
Inspired by ancient Chinese mythology, the Suanni is a lion-like creature known for sitting still, loving incense, and radiating calm strength. Traditionally seen as a sacred beast that absorbs negative energy and brings protection and peace, Suanni now takes shape as a unique incense holder for your space.
As smoke rises from this powerful guardian, it helps cleanse your environment, sharpen your focus, and invite grounding energy. Perfect for your meditation altar, spiritual rituals, or just as a bold, meaningful piece of decor.
More than incense – it’s intention, protection, and ancient power in one.
INCENSE HOLDER HISTORY
Incense holders—also known as incense stands or burners—originated in ancient China as early as the pre-Qin period. Initially used in royal rituals and religious ceremonies, they symbolized a sacred bridge between humanity and the divine. As incense culture flourished, these holders became integral to the refined lifestyles of scholars and artists, appearing in studies and tea rooms as both functional tools and expressions of aesthetic taste. During the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, craftsmanship reached new heights, with incense holders made from bronze, porcelain, and jade, often featuring intricate designs rich in symbolic meaning. Today, incense holders are not only part of traditional incense rituals but are also appreciated as spiritual and decorative objects that enhance space, focus energy, and reflect inner peace.
MAKING PROCESS
Handcrafted in Jingdezhen—the porcelain capital of China—this incense burner is shaped with care, detail by detail, by master artisans. Every expression, every color, every curve is born from human hands, not machines, carrying the warmth of creation and the spirit of tradition. It is not just a decorative piece, but a living embodiment of ancient craftsmanship and spiritual guardianship. Each one is unique, waiting to resonate with the energy of its destined owner.
