Locally handmade from reclaimed wine and liquor bottles, these tall glass vessels give discarded bottles a second life as an incense holder, vase, drinking glass, and whatever else you find a use for.

I designed the incense setup after seeing similar enclosed holders made with a wooden base, removable glass cylinder, and separate incense stand. This version simplifies the idea by using the bottle itself. Local restaurants, bars, and individuals save their empties, which are then cut and fire polished by a Colorado Springs glass studio. 

Add our brass incense holder to suspend a stick inside the glass. The tall walls help protect the incense from being bumped or knocked over, while the bottom of the bottle catches falling ash and keeps it contained. Instead of ash scattering across a table, it collects neatly inside until you’re ready to clean it out.

Not a fan of incense? No problem. Use it as a vase for flowers, a drinking glass, a smoothie glass, utensil holder, or whatever happens to need a home.
