Large Square Mango Wood Oil Burner – Tree of Life

A square mango wood oil burner with a carved Tree of Life design on its face, a removable ceramic bowl in the upper dish, and a tealight chamber below — sized at 12.5×12.5×12.5cm, handcrafted in India. What This Burner Gives You Works with essential oils, fragrance oils, or wax melts — add a few drops to water in the ceramic bowl and the tealight below gently heats the liquid until it releases fragrance. At 12.5cm cube, it sits comfortably on a mantelpiece, side table, or shelf without taking over the space. Mango wood is dense and resistant to heat, and its natural grain pattern means each burner looks slightly different even within the same design. The carved Tree of Life motif on the front is a long-established decorative motif found across many craft traditions — it adds a considered visual presence without reading as heavily themed. A standard 4-hour tealight is all it needs to run — no electricity, no cord. Mango Wood, Ceramic Bowl, Handmade in India Carved from sustainably harvested mango wood in northern India, a region with a centuries-long tradition of woodcraft. The removable ceramic bowl sits in the upper dish and can be lifted out for cleaning. The natural brown finish is a light oil on the wood's surface — no synthetic lacquers. Size: 12.5×12.5×12.5cm. Using Your Oil Burner Fill the ceramic bowl with a small amount of water, then add 5–10 drops of your chosen oil. Light a tealight in the chamber below. The heat gradually warms the water and releases the fragrance over the life of the tealight (typically 3–4 hours). Never let the bowl run dry while the tealight is burning — top up with water if needed. Clean the bowl after each use to prevent scent carry-over. The Tree of Life in Craft Tradition The Tree of Life is one of the most universal symbols in decorative art — it appears in woodwork, textiles, ceramics, and metalwork across India, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. In most of these traditions it represents connection: between roots and branches, between generations, between the individual and the wider world. As a carved motif on mango wood, it sits comfortably in homes that value natural materials and considered design. Size and Craft Note 12.5×12.5×12.5cm, approximately 500g. Because mango wood has a natural, varied grain, the exact colour and pattern of each burner differs from the next — this is a characteristic of the material, not a flaw. Origin: India. Gift Considerations A practical and decorative gift for anyone interested in aromatherapy, natural home décor, or craft objects. Pairs well with a small collection of essential oils or wax melts for a complete set. Common Questions Can I use wax melts in this burner instead of oils? Yes. Place a wax melt directly in the ceramic bowl — no water needed. Allow it to cool and solidify before removing for cleaning. What size tealight does this burner take? A standard 4-hour tealight. Larger or longer-burning tealights can overheat the oil, so stick with the standard size. How do I clean the ceramic bowl? Once cooled, wipe out any remaining water or residue with a cloth. For stubborn wax melt residue, place the bowl in the freezer for 10 minutes — the wax will contract and lift away cleanly. Is mango wood food safe? This burner is designed for essential oils and fragrance only, not food use.
