Tembusu 1

• Intuitive pinch-hold
• Accommodates incense sticks with a diameter of 1-5mm
• Spread the pinch to naturally release unburnt ends into the ash bin
• Holds incense sticks without a wooden core for a near-complete burn, which minimizes waste
• The tall ash bin minimizes the need for frequent ash disposal, making it ideal for high-use environments
• Substantial weight of 1.7kg

• Bamboo Brown Model: Electro-galvanized steel with a sand-colored powder-coated finish
• Bead Blasted Model: Grade 304 stainless steel with a raw, bead-blasted finish. Over time, a natural patina from fingerprints and ashes will develop, enhancing the material's unique character
• Polished Model: Grade 304 stainless steel with a clear, reflective mirror finish on the exterior. The interior remains in a raw, bead-blasted finish, creating an intentional contrast. Over time, a natural patina from fingerprints and ashes will develop, enhancing the material's unique character
• As each piece is meticulously handmade and manually coated, aesthetic irregularities may be visible, reflecting the integrity and unique character of the small-batch process
• Dimensions: L 37 / W 37 / H 54 cm

• Wipe the underside of the pinch-hold regularly to prevent soot buildup
• Empty any ashes that accumulate on the lid into the holder or a dustbin as needed
• Empty the holder when necessary. Rinse using only water
• Incense sticks without a wooden core will fully combust upon contact with the metal surface, leaving natural scorch marks
• Daily Cleaning: For regular maintenance, we recommend using a soft, microfiber cloth dampened with water or a mild, pH-neutral detergent to remove surface oils. Never use abrasive pads, steel wool, or scouring powders. These will cause permanent scratches and dull the specific luster of the finish
• Disclaimer: Please note that the use of third-party cleaning agents or chemical coatings is at the user's discretion. Populate cannot be held responsible for changes in surface luster, discoloration, or adverse reactions caused by these substances. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first
