Incense Burner by A white porcelain incense burner with a spherical body covered in a lattice pattern of interlocking hexagons. The lattice pattern covers most of the body, with a smaller section of a different pattern on the bottom. A small, domed lid with a rounded knob on top made of gray metal with ornate curved designs on top sits on the incense burner. The object sits on a flat surface against a plain background.
