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.

This set includes:

Our Devon Bowl in oatmeal

Earl of East London incense cones in Sandalwood or Rose

One small white sage smudge stick

Many of these tiny porcelain vases have been inspired by the shapes seen in classical Japanese pottery but they also follow a long tradition of miniature making in the family pottery.

Miniatures were first produced in the Braunton Pottery by William Fishley Holland in the mid-1900s.

These one-of-a-kind modern collections look great on their own but are equally striking as part of a curated display on your shelf or sideboard. Each collection of five vases is unique and will not be repeated.

Please note: if there is a particular shape or colour combination you’d like, please contact us directly as we are able to accommodate specific requests.

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.
