Vintage Ceramic Oil Burner

A ceramic burner shaped like a small kettle, with a tealight below and a dish above for oil and water. Old-fashioned in the deliberate sense — no electronics, no plastic, nothing to plug in. It works the way these have always worked, and looks like it belongs on a windowsill.

Details

• Glazed ceramic
• Heated by a tealight below
• Kettle-shaped design
• Dish above for water and essential oil
• Tealight and oil not included

How to use

Fill the upper dish with water, add three to five drops of essential oil, then light a tealight and set it in the chamber below. The scent starts to lift within a few minutes. Top up the water before it runs dry — an empty dish will scorch and the ceramic can crack.

Care & safety

Never let the dish boil dry while the tealight is burning. Put the tealight out before the burner is left unattended, and keep it out of reach of children and pets. Let the ceramic cool completely, then wash the dish in warm soapy water to clear old oil residue.
