Candles and Incense
Scent your surroundings and create a warm winter glow with our collection of incense and candles that pair beautifully with our handmade ceramic candle holders, incense dishes and bowls. Create a comforting space that you’ll want to linger in, enhance the ambiance of a gathering, or turn a soak in the bath into a moment of mindfulness. Great for self-treating, or indulging others, our thoughtfully curated candle and incense gift sets make the perfect present.
Hand thrown in porcelain and finished in our signature chalky matt white glaze, the Constance candle holder brings graceful height and quiet drama to your table or mantelpiece. Designed as the taller sister to our bestselling Maude candlestick - and a natural partner to the original Hilda - Constance completes the trio beautifully.
Its slim, elongated silhouette adds an elegant sense of scale when grouped with candleholders of varying heights. Style with coloured taper candles for playful, modern tablescapes, or keep things simple with soft ivory candles to let the gentle curves and texture of the porcelain take centre stage.
Each Constance candlestick is individually thrown and subtly unique, stamped with our Fishley Holland Pottery mark - a nod to seven generations of craft potters in our family.
Made to fit our slim taper candles.
Handmade in East Sussex.
Inspired by my own discovery of the power of lighting incense to help set intentions throughout the day, this wellness set is designed to encourage moments of calm, reflection and reset.
Included in the gift box are the tools you need to create a serene space in your home when looking to achieve a meditative atmosphere: a box of Earl of East London sandalwood incense cones, a hand thrown ceramic bowl with a gently fluted edge and a pretty box of matches. I’ve also included a mini posy of dried flowers (because who doesn’t like to receive flowers?).
The ritual of lighting incense can help to create a serene space in your home, separate from the outside world. Use grounding sandalwood to set an intention for the day - or to wind down in the evening.
The gently speckled oatmeal bowl can also be used for jewellery, keys and trinkets.
The perfect gift for a friend or family member who needs a reminder to slow down and take a breath, and a wonderful house warming gift. This neat little set is available for gift wrap with a handwritten note at checkout.

Fill your home with the calming aroma of soothing sandalwood or restful rose with these gorgeous incense cones from Earl of East London. These neat little cones burn for around fifteen minutes but will carry on scenting your home for the rest of the day.
Place one into our Devon bowl, light the tip and wait for 15-20 seconds before blowing out the flame and allowing it to smoke gently. This self care set also comes with a mini white sage smudge stick. Native Americans have traditionally used herbs like sage to clear away negative energies and attract positive ones. Smudging with white sage is also said to release negative ions that fight dust and pollution.
To use, light your sage stick over the Devon bowl, then blow on it until the flame goes out. The sage will then lightly smoke, much like incense. Holding it over the bowl, walk around your home gently wafting the smoke of your sage stick into every corner of your space.

Native Americans have traditionally used herbs like sage to clear away negative energies and attract positive ones. Smudging with white sage is also said to release negative ions that fight dust and pollution.
Either way, smudging can be a joyously intentional act that focuses the mind in the present, and can be used before meditation. To use, light your sage stick over a bowl, then blow on it until the flame goes out. The sage will then lightly smoke, much like incense. Holding it over the bowl, walk around your home gently wafting the smoke of your sage stick into every corner of your space.
