Handcrafted incense holders, made in India for the world's shelves.
Brass burners, carved-wood ash-catchers, marble bases and dramatic backflow towers — a small, high-margin accessory that merchandises a wellness and home-fragrance range and fills the cube beside your furniture. Genuine handcraft from India's great metal, wood and stone clusters, documented for import and consolidated in one compliant load.
A low-cost, high-turn accessory that lifts an order's average value.
Incense and home fragrance is one of retail's most reliable repeat categories, and the holder is the piece buyers see on the shelf. It is small, light and high-margin per cubic metre, so it fills the gaps between bulky furniture and lets a retailer, wellness brand or gift buyer merchandise a complete ritual — holder, tray and gift box — from a single compliant supplier. We make incense holders the way we make furniture: genuine handcraft, QC on every piece, and the import paperwork that clears customs without a pause.
Every burner style, in the material your buyer expects.
Each type ships as our ready ODM design or made to your own drawings and finishes (OEM), with retail-ready, FBA-ready, branded and gift packaging. Mix styles and materials freely within one order.

The craft traditions behind an incense holder worth sourcing.
India's reputation in this category isn't one city — it's several specialist traditions. We draw on each through our own factory and a vetted manufacturing network, so a single order can carry the best of all of them under one QC regime and one invoice.
Moradabad — brass & metal
India's brass city. Hand-cast and hand-finished burners, trays and backflow bases in antique, polished, powder-coated and patina finishes — the metalware that anchors a fragrance range.
Jodhpur — solid wood & iron
Our core. Reclaimed and sheesham wood married to wrought iron for the industrial-vintage ash-catchers and coil burners that define the Jodhpur look — honest materials, built to last.
Saharanpur — fine carved wood
Generations of relief and lattice carving produce the pierced smoke channels and detailed tabletop holders that machine-made goods cannot replicate.
Jaipur — marble, stone & inlay
Soapstone and marble bases, hand-carving and bone or mother-of-pearl inlay — the colour and ornament that turn a burner into a shelf statement.
ODM ranges or your own brand, down to the logo.
Materials & finishes
Brass and metal in antique, polished, powder-coated and patina; wood in natural, stained, distressed and painted; marble, soapstone and stone hand-carved or inlaid. Heat-safe dishes and ash trays as standard.
Custom work
Dimensions to spec, engraving, embossing, laser and CNC cutwork, custom backflow channels, and matched reference samples. Produce our ready designs (ODM) or your drawings and private-label brand (OEM).
Export packaging
Custom, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready, branded and gift packaging — with hang-tags, barcodes and inserts — built for Wayfair, Amazon, Etsy and chain-retail shelves.
Consolidated with your décor and furniture, cleared for your market.
Because incense holders are small and light, they are ideal cube-fillers: we pack them around bulky furniture and across décor to lift the value of a container without adding freight. A trial or sample order ships LCL so you approve wood, metal and finish before committing. On wood-based pieces the import paperwork travels with the goods — FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality, CITES-compliant sheesham, and EUDR-ready geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence — with US Lacey Act support, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes, ISPM-15 heat-treated packing, and ISO, SGS and SEDEX / SMETA on the line.

Sourcing incense holders from India.
What types of incense holders do you manufacture and export?
We make the full range as ODM catalogue lines or OEM to your design: stick holders and ash-catcher boats, cone and backflow (waterfall) burners, coil and dhoop box burners, pagoda and tower towers, and wall-mounted and tabletop styles. Materials span Moradabad brass and metal, Jodhpur solid wood and wrought iron, mango and sheesham wood, and Jaipur marble, stone and bone or mother-of-pearl inlay.
What is the minimum order and lead time for incense holders?
A trial or sample order can ship LCL so you approve the make first. Thereafter one 20ft full container load (FCL) is our standard minimum for best wholesale pricing, and because incense holders are small we consolidate them freely with other décor and furniture in one mixed container. Typical lead time is 30–45 days, with urgent orders available at a premium.
Can you produce private-label and retail-ready incense holders?
Yes. We are both ODM and OEM — produce our ready designs or your own drawings, finishes and branding, with custom CNC and casting work. Packaging options include custom, retail-ready, Amazon-FBA-ready, branded and gift packaging for Wayfair, Amazon, Etsy and chain-retail channels.
Are your wooden incense holders compliant for import into the US and EU?
Yes. On wood-based pieces we document FSC chain-of-custody and Vriksh timber-legality, handle Dalbergia sissoo (sheesham) to CITES, and are EUDR-ready with geolocation and deforestation-free due diligence. We support US Lacey Act declarations, UK Timber Regulation, CARB / TSCA finishes and ISPM-15 heat-treated export packing, with ISO and SGS inspection and SEDEX / SMETA social audit. Certificate numbers are shared directly with serious buyers.
Which finishes and customizations are available?
Brass and metal in antique, polished, powder-coated and patina finishes; wood in natural, stained, distressed and painted finishes; marble and stone with hand-carving or inlay. We customise dimensions, engraving, embossing, laser and CNC cutwork, backflow channels and gift sets, and can match a reference sample or your Pantone and logo requirements.
Which countries do you supply incense holders to?
We ship worldwide from Mundra / Nhava Sheva on FOB or CIF terms, with current buyers across the USA, Australia and the Netherlands and active expansion across the US, UK, EU and Gulf markets.
