Charonensri, a Thai artisan, presents this set of two ceramic incense holders. Formed in the shape of a regal elephant carrying a lotus flower on its back, each ceramic figurine features precise details and a glossy finish. These pale green incense holders feature the characteristic crackled finish that celadon is known for and will hold either cone or stick incense.

With the head of a dragon, body of a horse, and hooves of a unicorn, the pi xiu is an auspicious mythical creature of Chinese origin that is believed to bring wealth and good fortune.

Duangkamol designs a charming sculpture from Thailand. Crafted of ceramic, the sculpture depicts a young Thai girl, dressed in traditional clothes that make her look respectable. She wears a blue-green dress with a crackled celadon finish. Her hair is tied into a bun and a floral sculpture rests in her hands.

This celadon ceramic tealight holder handcrafted by Thai artisan Aunchalee Kaewduangtip will make a delightful addition to your home decor. The elephant-shaped holder is molded, fired in the kiln and given a glistening glaze, then it is finished with hand-painted accents that add another layer of charm to the piece.

Lifting their trunks, two green elephants trumpet their happiness. An important part of Thai culture, elephants are a symbol of Old Siam. Thatsanee and Ramphan craft the pair by hand in the tradition of celadon ceramic arts, renowned for its subtly crackled glaze.

Resting peacefully with lotus flowers balanced on their backs, these green ceramic elephant incense holders blend cultural symbolism with practical artistry. The distinctive crackled glaze creates a web of delicate lines across each figure, adding depth and character to the serene pachyderms. Versatile in function, each handcrafted piece cradles both incense sticks and cones with equal grace, releasing fragrant tendrils of smoke through the sacred lotus, a poetic nod to Thailand's rich spiritual heritage. Artisan Charoensri captures the elephant's gentle strength and the lotus's pure beauty in these wonderful accessories that bring tranquility to any space.
