Palo Santo Set - Splash Red
Product Description
A small altar set pairing a stoneware saucer in red splash glaze with three palo santo sticks, made in Germany.
The saucer follows the proportion of a Japanese mamezara – a flat dish with a vertical edge, Ø 11.5 cm. Its scale fits a single stick laid across the surface, with room for the ash to fall and stay contained. The palo santo (Bursera graveolens) is sustainably harvested from naturally fallen branches in Peru and Ecuador, then aged before being cut into sticks of roughly 10 cm.
The saucer is shaped from stoneware clay and fired at 1220 °C. At this temperature the body vitrifies and becomes food-safe and heat-resistant without further sealing. The interior carries a single splash of red glaze applied by hand; the surrounding areas are finished in a transparent glossy glaze. Because the red is poured rather than painted, no two saucers are identical – the spread, density, and edge of the splash vary from piece to piece.
For ritual smoke, scenting a room, or as a small dish for a stick of palo santo at the entrance or on a desk.
