Half-timbered country house lantern – tealight, incense cone

The evening grows cooler and you light a tealight. Suddenly little windows glow warmly into the room. This ceramic lantern is shaped like a half-timbered country house. It brings exactly this calm mood to your table, made for cosy hours. And if you like, simply place an incense cone inside and use the lantern as an incense smoker house.

What changes for you

• You create a cosy mood on your table or windowsill in no time. The windows and chimney are open, so the candlelight shines out softly.
• You stay flexible when decorating. The little house holds either a tealight or an incense cone.
• In Advent, your home smells of incense while the smoke drifts from the chimney. Just like a traditional incense smoker house.
• You can use the lantern all year round. In summer outside on the patio and balcony, in winter next to your Christmas arrangement.
• You put out a small one-off piece. Each little house is handmade and partly enamelled.

Why this ceramic lantern makes a difference every day

An open tealight gives light. A lantern creates atmosphere. Thanks to the house shape with its little windows, the candlelight falls onto the table in warm dots. There is nothing else to arrange: put the house down, light the tealight, done.

Material & finish

The country house is made of ceramic, and various parts are enamelled. The enamelled surface feels smooth and takes up the light evenly. As each piece is made by hand, individual houses may differ in small details. This is not a flaw. It makes your lantern one of a kind.

How to use the lantern

• On an Advent Sunday: place an incense cone inside. The scent drifts gently from the chimney while the windows glow warmly.
• On a summer evening on the patio or balcony: light a tealight. The little house gives you a soft, cosy light that doesn't dazzle.
• On a festively laid table: as a candle light between the crockery and the arrangement. A detail your guests will start talking about.
• In a café or at a Christmas market stall: as a tealight holder on the counter or table. It is quick to set up. The ceramic surrounds the flame safely, and your display looks lovingly put together.
• On the windowsill in the dark months: light it every evening. A glowing little half-timbered house greets people from outside.

Good to know about the incense smoker house

Incense smoker houses and smoking men come from the Ore Mountains in Germany. There, burning scented incense cones has been part of Advent and Christmas for generations. This ceramic house follows that tradition. That makes it a lovely gift for anyone who loves Christmas customs.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. Soot marks and wax residue simply wipe off the smooth, enamelled ceramic. So your lantern stays clean and ready to use season after season.
