Censer (Incense Burner)

A typical censer is a small metal or stone dish used for burning incense, often on small legs. In many cultures, burning incense has spiritual and religious connotations, and this influences the design and decoration of the censer. Designs vary from simple, earthenware bowls to intricately carved silver or gold vessels.

Incense Stick or Joss Stick

Joss sticks are a type of incense, traditionally most often burned before a Chinese religious image, idol, or shrine. But some joss stick burning rituals (and the associated prayers) need not be performed in front of religious images; they can be burned before anything without restriction. In modern days, the burning of joss sticks can be used for any type of purpose, such as to enhance the smell of a room, or to serve as a lighter to light fire crackers.

Joss sticks are religious materials in China, India, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, Myanmar, Cambodia, Korea, Japan, the Philippines and others.
