Smoking Caterpillar Backflow Incense Burner - 5.75 inch

The Smoking Caterpillar Backflow Burner shows a plump, smiling green caterpillar reared up in a shallow pink and green tray, a small candy-striped cone hat on its head and a cluster of red spotted toadstools growing up around its tail. The sculpt is soft and rounded throughout, hand-painted in bright storybook colours rather than an antiqued or shadowed finish, giving the piece a playful, whimsical feel rather than a gothic one. The backflow cone sits in an open well at the caterpillar's base, so loading and clearing it takes seconds, and lit smoke sinks down over the caterpillar's coiled body and pools across the grassy tray floor, which is what produces the smoking effect the piece is named for.

Backflow burners are traditionally used to bring a slow, grounding visual focus to a space, the downward-flowing smoke often associated with calm and quiet reflection rather than an active or energizing atmosphere. A whimsical piece like this is commonly chosen for a desk, meditation corner, or shelf where its charm and gentle smoke display are meant to be watched and enjoyed as much as smelled.
