Cold-cast resin, ceramic and Wicca motifs
The gothic oil burners here are predominantly crafted from hand-painted cold-cast resin (polyresin) with an inset glass dish – the warmth of the tealight heats the fragrance oil in the dish, and the relief work on the base simultaneously holds its own as a decorative object in its own right. Several models are crafted entirely in ceramic, one hangs as a witch's cauldron from a metal frame. Supplied without tealight.
The motif spectrum sits between classic gothic, occult and fantasy: skull, Grim Reaper, Nosferatu, Baphomet, pentagram, Hecate, Wicca circle, dragons, ravens, wolves, octopus and kraken. Alongside these comes a series by Anne Stokes, in which dragon ceramic burners are combined with English fragrance wax and seasonal Wicca themes as a complete gift set – tied to the eight festivals of the Wheel of the Year for collectors building a year-round set. Anyone after matching incense holders and incense alongside the oil burners will find both under Oil Burners & Incense Holders.
Frequently asked questions about gothic oil burners
Are cold-cast resin oil burners heat-resistant?
Yes – cold-cast resin (polyresin) is suitable for use with a standard tealight. The heat is transferred via the inset glass dish, with the base itself not coming into direct contact with the flame. As with all tealight products: never leave burning unattended and use a stable, fireproof surface.
Is a tealight supplied?
No – most oil burners are supplied without tealight. The exception are the Anne Stokes gift sets, which include fragrance wax. Standard tealights are required for use.
What's the difference between an oil burner and an incense holder?
An oil burner heats fragrance oil or fragrance wax over a tealight in a glass dish – the scent disperses through evaporation. An incense holder takes incense sticks or cones, which produce smoke and fragrance as they burn. Both methods combine well; gothic incense holders and incense are also available in the wider range.
