About this item

"Charoensri of Thailand creates this pair of ceramic incense holders in the form of an elephant carrying a lotus flower, both important symbols in Thai culture. The lotus flower is often a symbol of enlightenment, and the elephant has long been celebrated for its longevity, endurance, and strength. The incense holders are glazed in blue with a crackled finish and have a small hole at the top for placing an incense stick. They can also be used with cone incense.

The artisan describes how she began her journey in ceramics: 'I visited a friend's ceramics factory and I observed each step in the process. Seeing my interest, my friend persuaded me to try this work. Immediately, I began learning from skilled artisans. Finally, I was ready to design my own ceramics.'"

"Seeing my interest, our friend persuaded me to work from home, as he could use more help. My husband agreed, and I said yes.

"Immediately, I began learning from skilled artisans. They taught me to how to select and work with clay, to prepare the glaze and to select the firing temperature. Finally, I was ready to complete a piece and launched a workshop with 30 artisans to work with me. Unfortunately, an economic crisis hit us hard and we had to downside.I decided to offer our skills to another factory as well.

"Then I began designing our ceramics. I'm still developing my work and continue learning about this art form.

"During the dry season, the people who live in the mountains come down and help me. I hope you like our work."

I received this two days ago and I am glad I ordered the tea light because it is very cute and dainty. It apx. 3 1/2 inches high, closed on 3 sides with delicate openings for the petals, and the 4th side has an opening to put the tea light. Gives off a delicate light. Thank you.

From the picture on my computer, it looks like this oil warmer is white but it is actually a cream color which does not take away from the prettiness of this warmer. The blue in the center sets it off nicely. It is made very well and so delicate. Thank you.

"I'm Charoensri Chotayanon and I was born in Northern Thailand. Before I became involved with porcelain ceramics, I worked at a hotel for about 20 years while my husband was a building contractor. He had a friend who ran a ceramics factory, which I visited on several occasions and I observed each step in the process, from making molds, casting, decorating and glazing. All required a lot of skill. I found it exciting to watch the artisans and talk to them about their work.
