Ceramic Natural White Lotus Flower Oil Warmer, "Fragrant Lotus in White"

Artisan Charoensri of Thailand creates this ceramic oil warmer. Place a tea light in the arched opening of the base and fragrant oils in the bowl to enjoy gentle scent wafting through your room. Unglazed in natural white, which showcases the clay's natural speckling, the hollow base features a scene of lotus buds and leaves rising above the water. The bowl is a lotus flower with two layers of petals. The exterior of the bowl is unglazed and the interior is glazed with a warm, medium blue.

The artisan describes how she began her journey in ceramics: "I visited our friend's ceramics factory and I observed each step in the process. Seeing my interest, our friend persuaded me to try this work. Immediately, I began learning from skilled artisans. Finally, I was ready to design our ceramics."
